PEACE ------ Peace, a word with a wide range of meanings in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. Its root meaning in the Old Testament (Hebrew. shalom) is wholeness or well-being, and it can be used in both religious and secular contexts. It is used as a general greeting (Judg. 6:23; Ezra 5:7; Dan. 4:1) and as a farewell (Exod. 4:18; 2 Sam. 15:9). In these uses, it seems to indicate good wishes for the people addressed and friendly intentions on the part of the speaker. It is also used to indicate peace between nations as opposed to war (Josh. 10:1, 4; 1 Sam. 7:14; 1 Kings 5:12). Receive the Peace of Yahweh.........
