Strong's Lexicon paam: To beat, to strike, to impel, to move, to trouble Original Word: פָעַם Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5015 (ταράσσω, tarasso): To stir up, to trouble - G5426 (φρονέω, phroneo): To think, to have understanding, to be wise Usage: The Hebrew verb "paam" primarily conveys the idea of a rhythmic or repeated action, such as beating or striking. It can also imply causing movement or stirring, whether physically or emotionally. In some contexts, it is used to describe the troubling or stirring of emotions or spirits. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of rhythm and movement was integral to various aspects of life, from music and dance to warfare and craftsmanship. The verb "paam" reflects this cultural emphasis on rhythm and movement, often used metaphorically to describe emotional or spiritual states. The ancient Hebrews understood the heart and spirit as being capable of being "stirred" or "troubled," much like the physical act of beating or striking.
