Usage: This Aramaic term is used in the context of the Hebrew Bible to denote a short span of time or a fleeting glance. It is not frequently used, indicating its specific application in the text. Context: The term שָׁעָה (sha'ah) appears in the Aramaic portions of the Hebrew Bible, reflecting the linguistic diversity present in the biblical texts. Its usage is primarily to denote a brief moment or a quick look, emphasizing the transient nature of time or attention.
