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.
[מְגַמָּה] noun feminine Hab 1:9 (of the Chaldaeans) מְגַמַּת פְּנֵיהֶם קָדִ֑ימָה, of uncertain meaning: Ges the assembling of their faces is (directed) forwards; Ew De Ke eagerness, comparing (questionably) גָּמָא swallow Job 39:4, and [untranscribed source text 949] (Frey) seek (whence St proposes מְגֻמַת). Text probably erroneous.
