While the Greek term does not directly translate to "firm," it can imply a sense of decisiveness or resolution in certain contexts, which can be conceptually related to the firmness denoted by אֲזָד (azad). Usage: The term אֲזָד (azad) is used in the context of firmness or stability, often in a metaphorical sense to describe something that is steadfast or unyielding. Context: The Aramaic word אֲזָד (azad) appears in the context of the Hebrew Bible, particularly in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament. It is used to convey the idea of something that is firm or steadfast. This term is not frequently used, but when it appears, it emphasizes the unchanging or resolute nature of the subject it describes. The concept of firmness is often associated with strength and reliability, qualities that are valued in both physical and moral contexts. In the Berean Standard Bible, the translation of this term aligns with its meaning of being firm or steadfast, reflecting the underlying Aramaic concept.
