Use Strong's responsibly

Strong's is an index and starting point, not the final meaning of a word. Do not build doctrine from a gloss, root, or number. Test meaning by sentence, grammar, authorial usage, context, and the passage argument.

הֲלֹם adverb of place, hither (Arabic [untranscribed source text 1319] hither!) — Exod 3:5 אַלתִּֿקְרַב הֲלֹם approach not hither, Judg 18:3; Judg 20:7; 1Sam 10:22; 1Sam 14:16 and lo, the camp melted away וַיֵּלֶךְ וַהֲלֹם read with ᵐ5 (ἔνθεν καὶ ἔνθεν) Th We Dr הֲלֹם וַהֲלֹם hither and thither i.e. in different directions (compare הֵנָּה וָהֵנָּה Josh 8:20), v Josh 8:36 v Josh 8:38; Ruth 2:14 עַד הֲלֹם figurative hitherto, thus far (i.e. to this point of dignity and greatness) 2Sam 7:18 (= 1Chr 17:16).

Gen 16:13 = here; but here also text is dubious: v Di. Judg 14:15 read הֲלֹם for הֲלֹא: see הֲ 1 end.
