However, Greek terms related to wilderness or desolation, such as ἔρημος (erēmos, Strong's G2048), may convey similar themes.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "tsammim" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to certain desert creatures or wild beasts. It is often associated with desolation and wilderness, symbolizing places that are uninhabited or abandoned by humans. The creatures referred to by "tsammim" are typically those that thrive in arid, desolate environments.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern culture, the wilderness was often seen as a place of chaos and danger, in contrast to the ordered and cultivated land. The presence of wild beasts like the "tsammim" in these areas reinforced the perception of the wilderness as a place of desolation and spiritual testing. These creatures were part of the natural landscape of the region, and their mention in the Bible often served to emphasize the barrenness or judgment upon a land.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/6777.htm">tsammah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>perhaps a snare, trap<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>schemer (1), trap (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">צַמִּים</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> doubtful word, usually <font size="+1"><b>snare, trap</b></font> (from "" <font class="hebrew2">מַּח</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/18-9.htm">Job 18:9</a>);
