Usage: The Hebrew verb "ʿur" primarily means to awaken or to rouse from sleep. It can also imply stirring up emotions or actions, such as arousing oneself to action or inciting others. The term is used both in literal contexts, such as waking from physical sleep, and metaphorically, such as stirring up spiritual or emotional states.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of awakening was not only physical but also spiritual. The Israelites often used the term in the context of calling upon God to awaken to their plight or to stir themselves to action in times of need. The idea of being spiritually awake was significant in maintaining a faithful relationship with God, as spiritual slumber was often equated with complacency or disobedience.
