Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents listed in Strong's Concordance for the Hebrew term גָּלַם (galam). However, concepts related to folding or wrapping in the Greek New Testament might be expressed through terms like ἐντυλίσσω (entulissō • to wrap up) or περιβάλλω (periballō • to put around, to clothe), though these are not direct translations of גָּלַם. Usage: The verb גָּלַם (galam) is used in the context of folding or wrapping, often implying a covering or enveloping action. Context: The Hebrew verb גָּלַם (galam) is a primitive root that conveys the action of folding or wrapping. This term is not frequently encountered in the Hebrew Bible, suggesting a specific and perhaps technical application. The concept of folding in the ancient Near Eastern context could relate to various activities, such as the folding of garments, scrolls, or other materials. The act of folding implies a careful and deliberate action, often associated with protection or preparation. In biblical literature, the imagery of folding can symbolize concealment or the preparation for a significant event. The precise occurrences and contexts of גָּלַם in the Hebrew Scriptures are limited, and thus, the term carries a nuanced and specialized meaning within the biblical lexicon.
