Strong's Lexicon azal: To go, to depart, to disappear, to be exhausted Original Word: אָזַל Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "azal," the concept of departure or exhaustion can be found in Greek words such as ἐκλείπω (ekleipō - to fail, to leave out) and ἀναχωρέω (anachōreō - to depart, to withdraw). Usage: The Hebrew verb "azal" primarily conveys the idea of movement or transition, often implying a departure or disappearance. It can also suggest the depletion or exhaustion of resources. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, "azal" is used to describe physical movement, the passing of time, or the depletion of strength or resources. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, movement and transition were significant themes, often reflecting broader spiritual or existential journeys. The concept of departing or disappearing could symbolize the transient nature of life or the movement of God's people from one place to another. The depletion of resources or strength was a common experience in the agrarian and often harsh environment of the ancient Near East, where survival depended on the careful management of limited resources.
