Strong's Lexicon Uwr: To awaken, to arouse, to stir up Original Word: אוּר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1453 (ἐγείρω, egeirō): To awaken, to raise up - G1326 (διαγείρω, diageirō): To thoroughly awaken, to stir up Usage: The Hebrew verb "uwr" primarily means to awaken or to rouse from sleep. It is used both in a literal sense, such as waking someone from physical sleep, and in a figurative sense, such as stirring up emotions, zeal, or spiritual awareness. The term can also imply the act of inciting or provoking action or attention. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of awakening was not only physical but also spiritual and emotional. The Israelites often used the term metaphorically to describe a call to action or a revival of spiritual fervor. This reflects the broader Near Eastern understanding of sleep and awakening as states of consciousness and awareness, both physically and spiritually.
