Definition: Arise
Meaning: (Aramaic) arise, stand up.

Word Origin: Derived from the Aramaic קוּם (qum), meaning "to arise" or "to stand up."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Hebrew 6965: קוּם (qum) – to arise, stand up, or establish.

Usage: The term "koum" is used in the New Testament as a command to rise or get up. It is most notably used by Jesus in the context of miraculous healings, where He commands individuals to rise from sickness or even death.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Jewish culture of the first century, the concept of rising or standing up was often associated with restoration and renewal. The use of Aramaic, the common language of the Jewish people at the time, underscores the personal and direct nature of Jesus' miracles. The command to "arise" would have been understood as a powerful demonstration of divine authority over life and death.
