there (in that place)

Rootשם (š-m)
Core Meaningsplace, location, there, thither, then (as transferred location in time)
Semantic Rangethere, in that place, to that place (thither), from that place (thence), then (in narrative sequence), in it
Conceptual Significanceשָׁם anchors biblical narrative and theology in concrete space and time, often marking places of encounter, covenant, judgment, or remembrance. By pointing to a specific location or moment, it reinforces the embodied and historical nature of Israel’s faith and YHWH’s acts within real places.
Morphological NotesHebrew adverbial particle (HD); indeclinable; functions as a locative adverb meaning "there," sometimes extended to temporal sense "then."
Rendering Rationaleשָׁם is an indeclinable adverbial particle indicating location, derived from a demonstrative sense of place. The rendering "there (in that place)" preserves its deictic force, pointing to a specific location previously mentioned or implied. As an adverb (HD), it carries no gender, number, or person inflection, so the English likewise remains uninflected.
