Berean Strong's Lexicon Laqqum: Gathering place, assembly Original Word: לַקּוּם Word Origin: Derived from the root לָקַם (laqam), which is not widely attested in Hebrew but is related to the concept of gathering or collecting. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for a gathering or assembly is often ἐκκλησία (ekklesia), Strong's Greek #1577, which is used in the New Testament to refer to the church or congregation of believers. Usage: The term "Lqqum" is understood to refer to a place of gathering or assembly. It is not a common word in the Hebrew Bible and is often interpreted in the context of a location where people come together for a specific purpose, such as worship, decision-making, or communal activities. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, gathering places were central to community life. These locations served as venues for religious ceremonies, legal proceedings, and social interactions. The concept of a gathering place is deeply rooted in the communal and covenantal aspects of Israelite culture, where the assembly of people often signified unity and collective identity under God's covenant.
