Berean Strong's Lexicon la or lah: No, not Original Word: לָא or לָה Word Origin: Aramaic origin, used in the Hebrew Bible primarily in the books of Daniel and Ezra, which contain sections written in Aramaic. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for negation is "οὐ" (ou) or "μή" (mē), which are used similarly to negate statements or commands in the New Testament. Usage: The word "la" or "lah" is an Aramaic adverb used to express negation. It is equivalent to the Hebrew "לֹא" (lo) and is used to negate verbs, phrases, or clauses. In the context of the Bible, it is often used to convey a strong denial or prohibition. Cultural and Historical Background: The use of Aramaic in the Hebrew Bible reflects the historical context of the Jewish people during the Babylonian exile and the subsequent Persian period. Aramaic was the lingua franca of the Near East during this time, and its presence in the Bible highlights the cultural and linguistic influences on the Jewish community. The books of Daniel and Ezra contain significant portions written in Aramaic, indicating the integration of Jewish and Aramaic cultures.
