Berean Strong's Lexicon terom: Elevation, exaltation, offering Original Word: תרום Part of Speech: Conjunction Transliteration: terom Pronunciation: teh-ROHM Phonetic Spelling: (ter-ome') Definition: Elevation, exaltation, offering Meaning: not yet Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of elevation or offering is ἀνάθεμα (anathema), which can mean something set apart or dedicated, often in a religious context. Usage: The term "terom" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote something that is elevated or lifted up, often in the context of offerings or sacrifices. It signifies an act of lifting something up to God, symbolizing honor, reverence, and dedication. The concept of elevation is both physical and spiritual, indicating a separation from the mundane and a dedication to the divine. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, offerings were a central part of worship and religious practice. The act of lifting up an offering, or "terom," was a symbolic gesture of giving the best to God, acknowledging His sovereignty and provision. This practice was deeply embedded in the sacrificial system outlined in the Torah, where various offerings, including grain, animals, and incense, were presented to God as acts of worship and atonement.
