Strong's Lexicon Maqats: To awake, to arise Original Word: מָקַץ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1453 (ἐγείρω, egeirō) - to awaken, to raise up - G1326 (διαγείρω, diageirō) - to thoroughly awaken Usage: The Hebrew verb "maqats" primarily means "to awake" or "to arise." It is often used in the context of waking from sleep or being roused from a state of inactivity. The term can also imply a sudden awareness or realization, often used metaphorically to describe a spiritual or mental awakening. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, sleep was often seen as a state of vulnerability and inactivity, while waking was associated with renewed strength and awareness. The act of waking up was not just a physical transition but also carried spiritual connotations, symbolizing enlightenment, readiness, and divine intervention. The Hebrew Bible frequently uses waking imagery to describe God's actions in the world and the spiritual awakening of His people.
