Berean Strong's Lexicon qeyam: Existence, subsistence, standing Original Word: קֵיאַם Word Origin: Derived from the root קום (qum), meaning "to arise" or "to stand." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent that captures a similar concept of standing or enduring might be found in terms like μένω (menō, Strong's Greek 3306), which means "to remain" or "to abide." Usage: The term "qeyam" is used to denote the concept of existence or subsistence, often in the context of something that is established or stands firm. It conveys the idea of stability and endurance, reflecting a state of being that is maintained over time. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of something that stands firm or endures was significant, especially in a world where many things were transient and unstable. The idea of "qeyam" would resonate with the Israelites' understanding of God's eternal nature and His unchanging promises. The stability and permanence implied by "qeyam" would be contrasted with the fleeting nature of human endeavors and the temporal world.
