Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G1011 (βουλεύω), which also means to deliberate, to resolve, or to purpose. This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe the act of making decisions with careful thought and intention, similar to the Aramaic concept of עֲשִׁת. Both terms emphasize the importance of intentionality and purpose in decision-making processes.

Usage: This Aramaic term is used in the context of forming a purpose or intention, often in relation to plans or decisions made with deliberate intent.

Context: The Aramaic word עֲשִׁת appears in the context of the Old Testament, particularly in the books written in Aramaic, such as Daniel and Ezra. It conveys the idea of forming a purpose or intention, often in a context where decisions are made with careful consideration and deliberate planning. This term is used to describe the purposeful actions of individuals, often in positions of authority or influence, who make decisions that impact others. The concept of purpose in the biblical sense often carries a weight of responsibility and foresight, reflecting the intentional nature of the actions described.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is translated in a way that reflects its meaning of intentional planning or decision-making. The use of this term in the biblical text underscores the importance of intentionality and purpose in the actions and decisions of individuals, particularly those in leadership roles.
