Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root לְבַב (lebab), which is related to the Hebrew לֵב (leb), meaning "heart."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 2588: καρδία (kardia) • heart Usage: The word לְבַב is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra, to denote the heart as the center of human thought, emotion, and decision-making. Context: The Aramaic term לְבַב (lebab) appears in the context of the exilic and post-exilic periods, reflecting the linguistic environment of the Jewish people during their time in Babylon. In the biblical narrative, the heart is often seen as the seat of intellect and emotion, a concept that is consistent across both Hebrew and Aramaic texts. In Daniel, for example, the heart is depicted as the center of understanding and wisdom, as seen in Daniel 2:30, where Daniel speaks of the revelation of mysteries to his heart. The heart is also portrayed as the locus of moral and spiritual life, influencing one's actions and relationship with God. This understanding aligns with the broader biblical theme that emphasizes the importance of a pure and devoted heart in one's walk with God.
