Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Aramaic; a root wordCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of increase or growth in the Greek New Testament can be found in words such as αὐξάνω (auxanō • Strong's Greek 837), which means to grow or increase, and πληθύνω (plēthynō • Strong's Greek 4129), meaning to multiply or increase. These Greek terms capture similar themes of growth and expansion as seen in the Aramaic שְׂגָא. Usage: This Aramaic verb is used in the context of growth or increase, often referring to the expansion or magnification of something, whether in size, number, or importance. Context: The Aramaic verb שְׂגָא (segā') appears in the context of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra, which contain sections written in Aramaic. This term is used to describe the act of increasing or becoming great, often in relation to kingdoms, power, or influence. For example, in the book of Daniel, it is used to describe the growth of kingdoms and the magnification of power. The usage of שְׂגָא highlights the theme of divine sovereignty and the rise and fall of earthly powers under God's ultimate control. The term underscores the transient nature of human authority compared to the eternal dominion of God.
