Strong's Lexicon neum: Utterance, declaration, oracle Original Word: נְאֻם Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: neum Pronunciation: neh-oom' Phonetic Spelling: (neh-oom') Definition: Utterance, declaration, oracle Meaning: an oracle Word Origin: Derived from the root נָאַם (na'am), meaning "to utter" or "to declare." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "neum," the concept of divine utterance is captured in the New Testament by terms such as λόγος (logos, G3056) meaning "word" or "message," and ῥῆμα (rhema, G4487) meaning "spoken word." Usage: The term "neum" is primarily used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a divine utterance or declaration, often attributed to God or a prophet speaking on behalf of God. It signifies a solemn and authoritative pronouncement, frequently introducing or concluding a prophetic message. The phrase "neum YHWH" (utterance of the LORD) is a common formula that underscores the divine origin and authority of the message being conveyed. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, prophets served as intermediaries between God and the people, delivering messages that were often prefaced by terms like "neum" to emphasize their divine source. These declarations were integral to the covenant relationship between God and Israel, providing guidance, warnings, and promises. The use of "neum" reflects the ancient Near Eastern context where divine oracles were a recognized means of communication between deities and humans.
