Peace refers to:—From Latin pax , through French. 1. Except in Daniel 8:25; Daniel 11:21; Daniel 11:24 (where RV [Note: Revised Version.] corrects to ‘security’), the OT ‘peace’ represents uniformly the Heb. shalom (Eastern salaam ), the fundamental sense of which always more or less distinctly implied is welfare (as in Genesis 43:27 , Psalms 73:3 etc.); of well-being, in the old turbulent times, peace was the prime condition. The word has the following specific religious uses: (1) it is the common formula of courteous well-wishing, employed both at meeting and at parting (see Gen 43:23 , 1 Samuel 1:17 , Psalms 122:7 f.; cf. Matthew 10:12 f.); (2) ‘peace’ constituted the most conspicuous blessing of the Messianic Kingdom of God (wh. see; cf. Psalms 72:3; Psalms 72:7 , Isaiah 2:4; Isaiah 9:5-7; Isaiah 11:5-9 , Haggai 2:9 , Zechariah 9:10 ); and (3) it signified a sound and settled understanding between J″ [Note: Jahweh.] and His people ( Numbers 6:26 , Psalms 29:11; Psalms 85:8 ff; Psalms 122:6 , Jeremiah 16:5 etc.) hence J″ [Note: Jahweh.] ’s ‘covenant of peace ’ is lodged with His priests ( Numbers 25:12 , Malachi 2:4 f.).
