Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The concept of adding or augmenting in the Greek New Testament can be found in words such as προστίθημι (Strong's Greek 4369), which means to add or to place additionally. This Greek term is used in similar contexts where something is being added or increased, reflecting the same underlying concept as the Aramaic יסַף.

Usage: The term יסַף is used in the context of adding or increasing something. It appears in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Ezra and Daniel.

Context: • The Aramaic verb יסַף (yĕsaf) is primarily used in the context of adding or augmenting. It is a cognate of the Hebrew verb יסף (yasaf), which carries a similar meaning. In the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, this verb is employed to describe actions of increasing or adding to something, whether it be numbers, quantities, or other abstract concepts.
• In the book of Daniel, the term is used to describe the act of adding to the king's decrees or the increase of wisdom and understanding. For example, in Daniel 2:6, the term is used in the context of rewarding those who can interpret the king's dream: "But if you tell me the dream and its interpretation, you will receive from me gifts and rewards and great honor. So tell me the dream and its interpretation."
• In Ezra, the term is used in the context of adding to the people or the resources available for the rebuilding of the temple. The usage in these contexts underscores the idea of augmentation and increase, whether in terms of material resources or in the realm of knowledge and understanding.
