Footnotes
| 1166 | A “Dream” is A Bonded one Strong’s #2492, chalam. A primitive root; properly, to healthy, strong, fat, i.e. (by implication) to be (causatively to make) plump; also (through the figurative sense) to dream. What relationship does healthy have with dreaming? It is speculative. Gesenius writes, “because, it is said, fatness of the body inclines to sleep and dreams…” “A song of the Steps, in I am’s turning-back the captive of the Signpost [Zion], we have become as healthy ones[chalomim].” Psalm 126:1 RBT |
