Strong's Lexicon ur: To rouse, to awaken, to stir up, to incite Original Word: עוּר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1453 (ἐγείρω, egeirō): To awaken, to raise up - G1326 (διαγείρω, diageirō): To thoroughly awaken, to arouse completely Usage: The Hebrew verb "ʿur" primarily means to awaken or to rouse from sleep. It can also imply stirring up emotions, inciting action, or arousing attention. The term is used both in literal contexts, such as waking from physical sleep, and metaphorically, such as stirring up spiritual awareness or emotional responses. 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 in their poetry and songs to describe God's intervention in human affairs, calling upon Him to "awake" and act on their behalf. The idea of awakening also carried connotations of readiness and alertness, important qualities for a people often facing physical and spiritual battles.
