Strong's Lexicon Leummim: Peoples, Nations Original Word: לְאֻמִּים Word Origin: Derived from the root לְאוֹם (le'om), meaning "people" or "nation." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1484 (ἔθνος, ethnos) - Often translated as "nation" or "Gentiles" in the New Testament, reflecting a similar concept of distinct ethnic or national groups. Usage: The term "Leummim" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to groups of people or nations, often in a collective sense. It emphasizes the idea of distinct ethnic or national groups, sometimes in contrast to the chosen people of Israel. The word is used to denote the diversity of nations and their interactions with Israel and God's plans. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, nations were often defined by their ethnic, linguistic, and cultural identities. The concept of "Leummim" reflects the biblical worldview that recognizes the existence of multiple nations under the sovereignty of God. The term is used to highlight the relationship between Israel and other nations, often in prophetic literature where the fate of these nations is discussed in relation to God's covenant with Israel.
