Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of departing or going away in the Greek New Testament can be related to several Greek verbs, though there is no direct one-to-one correspondence with the Aramaic אֲזַל. Some Greek verbs that convey a similar meaning include:

• ἀπέρχομαι (aperchomai) • to go away, depart
• ἐξέρχομαι (exerchomai) • to go out, come out
• πορεύομαι (poreuomai) • to go, proceed

These Greek terms capture the essence of movement and departure, similar to the Aramaic אֲזַל, and are used throughout the New Testament to describe various forms of physical and metaphorical departure.

Usage: This Aramaic verb is used in the context of departing or going away. It appears in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, specifically in the books of Daniel and Ezra.

Context: The Aramaic verb אֲזַל (azal) is primarily used in the context of movement, specifically indicating the action of departing or going away. It is found in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, which include parts of the books of Daniel and Ezra. This verb is used to describe physical movement from one place to another, often in a narrative context where individuals or groups are leaving a location.

In the book of Daniel, for example, the term is used to describe the movement of individuals within the narrative, highlighting the action of leaving or departing from a particular place. The usage of אֲזַל in these contexts underscores the transient nature of human actions and decisions, as well as the unfolding of divine plans through the movements of people.

The verb אֲזַל is a common term in Aramaic, reflecting the everyday language of the people during the time when these portions of the Old Testament were written. Its usage in the biblical text provides insight into the historical and cultural context of the period, illustrating the linguistic transition from Hebrew to Aramaic in certain parts of the Jewish community.
