Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Aramaic, corresponding to the Hebrew word אֶרֶץ (erets).

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G1093: γῆ (ge) • Earth, land
G3625: οἰκουμένη (oikoumene) • The inhabited earth, world

These Greek terms are used in the New Testament to convey similar meanings of the earth or land, often in the context of God's creation or the inhabited world.

Usage: This Aramaic term is used in the context of referring to the earth or land, particularly in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament.

Context: The term אֲרַק (Arak) is an Aramaic noun that appears in the biblical texts written in Aramaic, such as parts of the books of Daniel and Ezra. It is equivalent to the Hebrew word אֶרֶץ (erets), which is commonly used throughout the Old Testament to denote the earth or land. In the context of the Aramaic sections, אֲרַק is used to describe the physical earth or land in a general sense, often in relation to the dominion or rule over the earth by kings or empires. For example, in the book of Daniel, the term is used to describe the extent of a king's rule or the scope of a vision concerning earthly kingdoms. The use of אֲרַק in these texts underscores the universal scope of God's sovereignty and the temporal nature of earthly powers.
