It conveys the idea of something that is not yet fully developed or shaped, emphasizing the potential and divine knowledge of life even before it takes form.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the understanding of human development was limited compared to modern science. However, there was a profound recognition of the sanctity and divine involvement in the creation of life. The use of "gelom" reflects a deep respect for the mystery and sacredness of life from its very inception, acknowledging God's intimate knowledge and care for each person even before birth.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1563.htm">galam</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a wrapping, garment<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>clothes (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">גְּלוֺם</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>wrapping, garment</b></font> (Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">גְּלִימָא</font>, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb016601.gif"> = Persian <img src="/bdbgif/bdb016602.gif"> according to Fl ChWB<sup>i. 143</sup> SFrä<sup>LOPh i.</sup> (1883-4) 410), <font class="hebrew2">בִּגְלוֺמֵי תְּכֵלֶת</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/27-24.htm">Ezekiel 27:24</a>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>clothes <p>From <a href="/hebrew/1563.htm">galam</a>;
