These Greek terms share a similar semantic field with the Aramaic אֲזָא, emphasizing the act of igniting or causing something to burn. They are used in the New Testament to describe both literal and figurative burning, such as the burning of lamps or the fervent zeal of believers. Usage: This Aramaic verb is used in the context of kindling or heating, often referring to the act of igniting or causing something to become hot. Context: The Aramaic term אֲזָא (azah) appears in the context of heating or kindling, typically associated with fire or intense heat. This term is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, reflecting the cultural and linguistic influences during the periods of Babylonian and Persian dominance over Israel. The act of kindling or heating is often symbolic of purification, judgment, or the presence of God, as fire is a common biblical motif for divine action and holiness. The usage of אֲזָא in the biblical text underscores the transformative power of fire, whether in a literal or metaphorical sense.
