SIBI-P1 H5769-09
hidden ages
| Morphological Notes | Masculine common plural absolute noun (HNcmpa) from עוֹלָם (H5769). The plural form emphasizes multiple extended or indefinite spans of time rather than a single abstract eternity. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עוֹלָמִים is the masculine plural absolute form of עוֹלָם, derived from the root עלם (“to conceal, hide”). Rendering it as “hidden ages” preserves both the plural morphology (“-im,” masculine plural) and the root sense of time that is concealed from view—whether distant past or indefinite future. |
