Word Origin: Aramaic, corresponding to the Hebrew אַף (ʾap̄)

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for this Aramaic particle in the Strong's Concordance, as it serves a specific grammatical function in the Aramaic language that may not have a one-to-one correspondence in Greek. However, similar conjunctions or particles in Greek that serve to add emphasis or contrast might be considered functionally analogous, though they are not directly listed under Strong's Greek entries.

Usage: This Aramaic particle is employed in the context of adding emphasis or contrast, often translated as "yea" or "though" in English. It is used to introduce a statement that may seem contrary to what has been previously mentioned, thereby providing a nuanced understanding of the text.

Context: The Aramaic word אַף (ʾap̄) appears in the context of the Old Testament, particularly in the books written in Aramaic, such as parts of Daniel and Ezra. It serves as a conjunction that can either affirm a statement or introduce a contrasting idea. In the Berean Standard Bible, this word is translated to convey the sense of addition or contrast, often rendered as "yea" or "though." For example, in Daniel 3:19, the word is used to emphasize Nebuchadnezzar's anger: "Then Nebuchadnezzar was filled with rage, and the expression on his face changed toward Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He ordered the furnace to be heated seven times hotter than usual." Here, the use of אַף underscores the intensity of the king's reaction. The word's function is to provide a deeper layer of meaning, highlighting the emotional or logical shift in the narrative.
