H5977 H5977
Standing place, appointed station; a fixed position for worship, assembly, or divine encounter.
The noun עֹמֶד (omed) means 'standing place' or 'appointed station,' derived from the root עמד ('to stand'). Appearing only with suffixes and after prepositions (עַל־עָמְדָם, 'in their place'), it designates the fixed position where a person stands for a formal occasion. Most occurrences describe worship or assembly stations: the Levites and people standing in their appointed places during Hezekiah's and Josiah's reforms (2 Chr 30:16; 34:31; 35:10), and the people standing during Ezra's Torah reading (Neh 8:7; 9:3; 13:11). Daniel uses it for the spot where he stood during his angelic vision (Dan 8:17-18; 10:11).
Senses
1. standing place, station, position — A standing place or appointed station — the fixed spot where one is positioned for worship, liturgical assembly, or a divine encounter. The term typically occurs in the phrase עַל־עָמְדָם ('in their place'), describing the organized positions of Levites and worshipers during temple reforms under Hezekiah (2 Chr 30:16), Josiah (2 Chr 34:31; 35:10), and Nehemiah (Neh 8:7; 9:3; 13:11). In Daniel, it denotes the prophet's physical location during his visionary encounter (Dan 8:17-18; 10:11). French and German leave the term untranslated in their glosses, while English ('place/standing') and Spanish ('lugar/puesto') capture the positional sense clearly. 6×
