It serves to pivot the narrative or argument, indicating a shift in focus or a counterpoint to what has been previously mentioned.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The use of Aramaic in the Hebrew Bible is primarily found in the books of Daniel and Ezra, reflecting the historical context of the Babylonian and Persian empires, where Aramaic was the lingua franca. This reflects the period of Jewish exile and the subsequent interactions with surrounding cultures and languages. "Beram" is part of this linguistic tapestry, illustrating the influence of Aramaic on the Jewish people during this era.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>only, nevertheless<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>however (3), yet (2).<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">בְּרַם</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adverb</b></font> with adversative force, <font size="+1"><b>only, nevertheless</b></font> (derivation uncertain: Nö<sup>M 202</sup> = <font class="hebrew2">מָא</font> + <font class="hebrew2">בָּר</font>, literally <em>except what:</em> <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> <font class="hebrew2">בְּרַם</font> often for <font class="hebrew2">אַח</font>, <font class="hebrew2">אוּלָם</font>;
