The adverb sham ('there') is the standard Hebrew locative deictic, pointing to a place already established in the discourse. Its 835 occurrences span the entire Hebrew Bible, from 'there he put the man whom he had formed' (Gen 2:8) to prophetic oracles and wisdom poetry. It can indicate static location ('there') or direction of motion ('thither'), and it frequently appears in emphatic fronted position for rhetorical effect (Mic 4:10; Ps 104:26). Combined with ki ('because there...') or gam ('even there...'), it builds sophisticated spatial-logical constructions. German dort and Spanish alli capture its spatial pointing function precisely.
