<p> '''A. Noun. ''' </p> <p> <em> Pa‛am </em> ( '''''פַּעֲמָה''''' , Strong'S #6471), “step; foot; hoofbeats; pedestal; stroke; anvil.” This noun’s attested cognates appear in Ugaritic ( <em> pcn </em> ) and Phoenician. Biblical occurrences of this word number about 117 and appear in every period of the language. </p> <p> The nuances of this word are related to the basic meaning “a human foot.” The psalmist uses this meaning in Ps. 58:10: “The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.” In Exod. 25:12 the word is applied to the “pedestals or feet” of the ark of the covenant: “And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put them in the four [feet] thereof; and two rings shall be in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it.” [[Elsewhere]] the word signifies the “steps” one takes, or “footsteps”: “Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not” (Ps. 17:5). Judg. 5:28 applies the word to the “steps” of a galloping horse, or its hoofbeats. This focus on the falling of a foot once is extended to the “stroke” of a spear: “Then said [[Abishai]] to David, … let me pin him to the earth with one stroke of the spear …” (1 Sam. 26:8, RSV). Finally, <em> pa‛am </em> represents a footshaped object, an “anvil” (Isa. 41:7). </p> <p> '''B. Adverb. ''' </p> <p> <em> Pa‛am </em> ( '''''פַּעֲמָה''''' , Strong'S #6471), “once; now; anymore.” This word functions as an adverb with the focus on an occurrence or time. In Exod. 10:17 the word bears this emphasis: “Now therefore forgive, I pray thee, my sin <em> only this once </em> , and entreat the Lord your God.…” The first biblical appearance of the word focuses on the finality, the absoluteness, of an event: “This is now bone of my bones …” (Gen. 2:23). The thrust of this meaning appears clearly in the translation of Gen. 18:32—Abraham said to God: “Oh, let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once [only one more time].…” </p>
