Conceptual Significanceטֶרֶם highlights suspended fulfillment or anticipated action within biblical narrative, often marking divine timing or human expectation. It underscores the tension between present reality and impending fulfillment, reinforcing themes of patience, unfolding revelation, and appointed times.

Rendering RationaleThe adverb טֶרֶם denotes non-occurrence or something suspended prior to happening (“not yet, before”). The prefixed interrogative הֲ turns it into a question. The rendering “Is it still not-yet?” preserves the core idea of suspended occurrence while reflecting the interrogative particle in this specific form.
