Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Aramaic, corresponding to the Hebrew אֶרֶץ (erets)Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in the Strong's Concordance is G1640 (γῆ, ge), which similarly denotes the earth, land, or ground. This Greek term is used throughout the New Testament to describe the physical earth, as well as metaphorically to indicate the realm of human existence or the created order. Usage: The term אֲרַע is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra. It is employed to describe the physical earth or land, as well as to convey a sense of humility or lowliness. Context: אֲרַע (ara) is an Aramaic term found in the Old Testament, primarily in the books of Daniel and Ezra, which contain significant portions of Aramaic text. The word is used to describe the earth or land, often in a physical sense, as seen in Daniel 2:35, where it refers to the whole earth. In some contexts, it can also imply a state of lowliness or humility, reflecting the broader Semitic understanding of the earth as the lowest part of creation. This term is analogous to the Hebrew אֶרֶץ (erets), which carries similar meanings in the Hebrew portions of the Old Testament. The use of אֲרַע in the Aramaic sections underscores the cultural and linguistic diversity present in the biblical text, reflecting the historical context of the Jewish people during the Babylonian exile and the subsequent Persian period.
