the Berasit Hebrew Dictionary

The ancient Hyberi culture was keenly aware of the passage of time. Their knowledge went beyond the necessary cyclical natural cycles required for successful agriculture, and appears at times to venture into more philosophical explorations.

They appear to have been intrigued by the concept of “forever”. At least, this is one possible interpretation. However, this interpretation may not be entirely accurate.

discuss iom, seneh, the iomim, and rehep

There are three distinct words that have traditionally been interpreted as meaning “forever”:

• yolem
• yed
• nexeh

But all three of these are somewhat dubious fits to this interpretation.
