שְׁלָם noun masculine^{Dan 3:31} welfare, prosperity; — in greetings: absolute Ezra 4:17 prosperity! emphatic שְׁלָמָא Ezra 5:7; suffix שְׁלָֽמְכוֺן יַשְׂגִּיא Daniel 3:31; Daniel 6:26.

Word Origin: Derived from the root שׁלם (shalem), which is related to the concept of completeness or wholeness.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek 1515: εἰρήνη (eirēnē) • This Greek term is often used in the New Testament to denote peace, tranquility, and harmony, paralleling the Hebrew concept of שָׁלוֹם (shalom) and the Aramaic שְׁלָם (shelam). It is used to describe both the absence of conflict and the presence of positive relationships and well-being, both spiritually and materially.

Usage: This Aramaic term is used in the context of expressing a state of prosperity or peace, often in relation to the well-being of individuals or communities.

Context: The term שְׁלָם (shelam) appears in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Ezra and Daniel, which contain significant Aramaic sections. In these contexts, שְׁלָם is used to convey a sense of peace and prosperity, often in greetings or blessings. For example, in the book of Daniel, the term is used to describe the well-being of individuals or the state of affairs in a kingdom. The concept of שְׁלָם is closely related to the Hebrew שָׁלוֹם (shalom), which also signifies peace, completeness, and welfare. This reflects a broader biblical theme where peace and prosperity are seen as blessings from God, indicative of His favor and presence among His people.
