hidden ages

Rootעלם (ʿ-l-m)
Core Meaningsto conceal, hide, be hidden, obscurity, that which is beyond sight or knowledge
Semantic Rangeages, long durations, remote antiquity, indefinite future, perpetuity, eternity, world-age
Conceptual Significanceעוֹלָמִים expresses the biblical concept of time that lies beyond human perception—either ancient past or enduring future. It frames YHWH’s covenant, kingship, and faithfulness as extending through all concealed ages, underscoring divine transcendence over time and human limitation.
Morphological NotesMasculine 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 RationaleThe 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.
