Psalm 73:10, if text be sound, הֲלֹם must mean thither (that is, after the persons described Psalm 73:3); but such sense questionable; read probably with Houb La for ישיב עמו הלם, יַשְׂבִּעֵמוֺ לָ֑חֶם satisfies them with bread: compare Che HupNow. Genesis 16:13 = here; but here also text is dubious: see Di. Judges 14:15 read הֲלֹם for הֲלֹא : see הֲ 1 end.
