Strong's Lexicon Ara: Earth, land Original Word: אֲרָא Word Origin: Derived from an Aramaic root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1093 (γῆ, gē) – Earth, land - G3625 (οἰκουμένη, oikoumenē) – The inhabited earth Usage: The term "Ara" is used in the context of referring to the physical earth or land. It is often employed in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra, to denote the physical ground or territory. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of "earth" or "land" was deeply significant. It was not only a physical space but also a symbol of inheritance, divine promise, and sustenance. The land was central to the identity and covenant relationship between God and His people, Israel. In the post-exilic period, when books like Daniel and Ezra were written, the land held particular importance as the Israelites sought to re-establish themselves in their ancestral homeland.
