αιλαμ 1 <Semitic; Hellenistic period>
👉 αιλαμ (vv.ll. ελαμ, αιλαμμειν, αιλαμμιν, ελαμμειμ) – ‘porch’ (LXX: 1 Reg. 6.3 and 36, 7.43(6) 2x and 43(7), Ez. 8.16, 40.9 2x, 15, etc.; see also below), αιλαμμω (vv.ll. αιλαμμωθ, αιλαμμων, ελαμμωθ, ελαμμων) ‘its porch’ (LXX: Ez. 40.21, 22 2x, 24, etc.).
🅔 Transliterations of the Biblical Hebrew noun ʾûlām / ʾulām / ʾêlām (orthography varies) ‘porch’; the form αλαμμω has the suffixed pronoun -ô (3rd sg. m.). Interestingly enough, αιλαμ ‘porch’ appears several times where the Hebrew text has other words: 1. hāʾēlle ‘these’ (BH / LXX: Ez. 40.25); 2. ʾōhel ‘tent’ (Ez. 41.1); 3. sap̄ ‘threshold’ (Ez. 40.6); moreover, cf. Ez. 40.7, as well as αιλ.
