Berean Strong's Lexicon Age: Age, eternity, everlasting, forever, perpetual Original Word: עוֹלָם Word Origin: Derived from the root verb עָלַם (alam), meaning "to conceal" or "to hide." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G165: αἰών (aion) – age, eternity - G166: αἰώνιος (aionios) – eternal, everlasting Usage: The Hebrew word "olam" is used to denote a long duration, antiquity, or futurity. It often conveys the concept of eternity or an indefinite, unending period. In the context of God's nature, it emphasizes His eternal existence and unchanging nature. When referring to human life or historical periods, it can indicate a long but finite duration. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of time was often viewed in terms of significant periods or ages rather than precise chronological measurements. "Olam" reflects this understanding, capturing the idea of time as a vast, often mysterious expanse. The Israelites understood God as eternal, existing beyond the confines of human time, which is reflected in their use of "olam" to describe His everlasting covenant and promises.
