Usage: The term מוֹת is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament to denote the concept of death. It appears in contexts that discuss the end of life or the cessation of existence.

Context: • The Aramaic word מוֹת (moth) is used in the context of death, similar to its Hebrew counterpart. It is found in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, such as the book of Daniel. The concept of death in the biblical text often carries both a literal and a metaphorical significance, representing not only the physical end of life but also spiritual separation or judgment.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used to convey the finality and inevitability of death, as well as its role in the divine order. Death is often portrayed as an enemy or a consequence of sin, yet it is also depicted as a transition to another state of existence, whether it be judgment or eternal life.
• The theological implications of death in the Bible are profound, as it is both a natural part of the human experience and a pivotal element in the narrative of redemption. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is presented as the ultimate victory over death, offering hope and eternal life to believers.
