This term is specifically found in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament.

In these contexts, it is used to describe the act of prophesying or speaking under divine inspiration.

The act of prophesying is not limited to the Hebrew language but extends into the Aramaic-speaking communities, reflecting the broader reach of divine communication.
