Dear list,

BDB gives the meaning of golem in psa 149:16 as "embryo" but would the
author have known about embryos? Any other suggestions for the meaning here
of this hapax? And do you think it is related to galam "to fold up", gelom
"large garment", both also hapaxes?

Any help would be appreciated?

Cheers,
