Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Aramaic, corresponding to the Hebrew בָּנָה (banah)Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 3618: οἰκοδομέω (oikodomeō) • to build, construct Usage: This Aramaic verb is used in the context of construction or building, both in a literal and figurative sense. It appears in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Ezra and Daniel. Context: The Aramaic verb בְּנָא (benā') is primarily found in the post-exilic books of the Old Testament, reflecting the historical context of the Jewish people during and after the Babylonian exile. The term is used to describe the physical act of building structures, such as the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem. For instance, in the book of Ezra, the word is used to describe the efforts of the Jewish exiles who returned to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple, as seen in Ezra 5:2: "Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Jeshua son of Jozadak set to work to rebuild the house of God in Jerusalem. And the prophets of God were with them, helping them."
