It is possible that "Tormah" could be a transliteration or a variant spelling of a Hebrew or Aramaic word, or it might be a name or term from extra-biblical sources or traditions. In biblical studies, understanding the etymology and context of such terms is crucial for accurate interpretation.<br><br><b>Biblical Context:</b> <br>While "Tormah" itself does not appear in the Bible, it is important to consider the broader context of similar terms or concepts that might relate to it. In biblical literature, names and terms often carry significant meanings, reflecting attributes of God, characteristics of individuals, or specific events.<br><br><b>Related Concepts and Themes:</b><br><br>1. <b>Names and Meanings:</b> <br> In the Bible, names often have deep meanings and are sometimes given by God to signify a person's role or destiny. For example, Abram's name was changed to Abraham, meaning "father of many nations" (<a href="/genesis/17-5.htm">Genesis 17:5</a>). If "Tormah" is a name, understanding its meaning could provide insight into its significance.<br><br>2. <b>Hebrew and Aramaic Linguistics:</b> <br> The Hebrew language, in which much of the Old Testament was written, is rich with words that have layered meanings. Scholars often examine root words to uncover deeper theological implications. If "Tormah" is derived from a Hebrew root, it would be beneficial to explore related words and their uses in Scripture.<br><br>3. <b>Cultural and Historical Context:</b> <br> Understanding the cultural and historical background of biblical times can shed light on terms that are not explicitly mentioned in the text. The customs, geography, and historical events of the ancient Near East often influence the language and narratives found in the Bible.<br><br>4. <b>Extra-Biblical Sources:</b> <br> Occasionally, terms not found in the Bible are mentioned in other ancient texts or traditions. These sources can provide additional context or explanations that align with biblical teachings. For example, the Dead Sea Scrolls and other ancient writings sometimes reference names and terms that enhance our understanding of biblical history.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b> <br>In conservative Christian theology, every word and name in the Bible is considered significant, as Scripture is viewed as divinely inspired (<a href="/2_timothy/3-16.htm">2 Timothy 3:16</a>). Even terms not directly found in the Bible, like "Tormah," can prompt deeper study and reflection on God's revelation and the unfolding of His plan throughout history.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>While "Tormah" is not a term found in the Bible, exploring its potential meanings and related concepts can enrich one's understanding of biblical language and theology. Engaging with the original languages, historical context, and theological themes is essential for a comprehensive study of Scripture.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Tormah</span><p>occurs only in the margin of (<a href="/judges/9-31.htm">Judges 9:31</a>) By a few commentators it has been conjectured that the word was originally the same with <a href="../a/arumah.htm">ARUMAH</a> in ver. 41.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">TORMAH</span><p>tor'-ma (tormah, "fraud"; Codex Vaticanus en kruphe, "in secret," Codex Alexandrinus meta doron, "with gifts"): This name is given in EVm as an alternative to "privily," or "craftily" the Revised Version (British and American) (<a href="/judges/9-31.htm">Judges 9:31</a>).
