Footnotes
| 760 | Strong’s #5002, neum, oracle, utterance. From na’am; an oracle -- (hath) said, saith. This is where “thus saith the Master” is derived from. It is specifically related to prophecies, sayings, and oracles. It is not the same word as amar, to say (#559) which you find in Genesis 1 and elsewhere, i.e. “And elohim is saying”. |
