Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1706 (ἐνύπνιον, enypnion) • A dream • G1797 (ἐνυπνιάζομαι, enypniazomai) • To dream • G1798 (ἐνύπνιον, enypnion) • A dream (repeated entry) • G3708 (ὁράω, horao) • To see, perceive • G3870 (παρακαλέω, parakaleo) • To call to one's side, to comfort, to exhort These Greek entries reflect the New Testament's engagement with the concept of dreams and visions, often paralleling the Hebrew understanding of dreams as significant and sometimes divinely inspired experiences. Usage: • The verb חָלַם (chalam) is used in the Hebrew Bible primarily in the context of dreaming. It can also imply the idea of being robust or healthy, as well as the concept of binding firmly, though these latter meanings are less common. Context: • The Hebrew verb חָלַם (chalam) appears in various contexts within the Old Testament, predominantly associated with dreaming. This term is often used to describe the act of dreaming in a literal sense, as seen in the narratives of Joseph and Daniel, where dreams play a significant role in divine revelation and guidance. • For example, in Genesis 37:5, Joseph dreams a prophetic dream that foreshadows his future rise to power: "Then Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him all the more" (BSB). • In the book of Daniel, dreams are a medium through which God communicates His plans and purposes, as seen in Daniel 2:1: "In the second year of his reign, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams that troubled his spirit, and sleep deserted him" (BSB). • The concept of binding firmly or being robust is less frequently encountered but can be inferred from the root's broader semantic range. The idea of being plump or healthy is metaphorically linked to the notion of being full or complete, which can be associated with the vividness or completeness of a dream. • The verb חָלַם (chalam) is integral to understanding the cultural and theological significance of dreams in the biblical narrative, serving as a conduit for divine messages and insights.
