Strong's Lexicon garam: To cause, to bring about, to result in Original Word: גָּרַם Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "garam," the concept of causation can be found in Greek words like "ποιέω" (poieo - to make, to do) and "γίνομαι" (ginomai - to become, to happen), which are used in the Septuagint and the New Testament to convey similar ideas of causing or bringing about. Usage: The Hebrew verb "garam" primarily means to cause or bring about an effect or result. It is used in contexts where an action leads to a particular outcome or consequence. The term implies a direct or indirect causation, where one event leads to another. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Hebrew context, causation was often viewed in terms of divine providence or human responsibility. The concept of causation was integral to understanding the relationship between actions and their consequences, both in personal conduct and in the broader scope of divine interaction with humanity. The Hebrew mindset often saw God as the ultimate cause behind events, whether through direct intervention or through the natural order He established. Brown-Driver-Briggs I.
