the Berasit Hebrew Dictionary

עולמ

Although it is often translated as “eternity”, Mauro Biglino, former chief translator for the Vatican, has pointed out that the word generally carries with it a spatial rather than temporal reference.

He suggests a meaning that a more correct translation for 'yolem' (or as he pronounces it 'olam') is “an unknown place” or perhaps “beyond”.¹⁾

Mauro further states that the personal plural form yolemim should be understood as “the universe” or all those dwelling within the universe. Strictly speaking though, a literal interpretation would be “the Beyond Ones” or “the People of the Beyond”.
