It appears in contexts that describe physical trees or wooden objects. Context: The Aramaic word אָע is found in the Old Testament, specifically in the books of Daniel and Ezra, which contain sections written in Aramaic. This term is used to denote both living trees and wood as a material. In the book of Daniel, it is used in the context of Nebuchadnezzar's dream, where a tree is a central symbol (Daniel 4:10-11, BSB: "In the visions of my mind as I lay on my bed, I saw a tree in the midst of the land, and its height was great. The tree grew large and strong; its top reached the sky, and it was visible to the ends of the earth."). In Ezra, it is used in the context of construction materials for the rebuilding of the temple (Ezra 5:8, BSB: "The king should know that we went to the house of the great God in the province of Judah. It is being built with large stones, and timbers are being laid in the walls. The work is being carried out with diligence and is prospering in their hands."). The use of אָע in these contexts highlights its dual role as both a natural and a utilitarian element, reflecting the cultural and religious significance of trees and wood in the ancient Near East.
