Strong's Lexicon shebaq: To leave, to forsake, to permit Original Word: שְׁבַק Word Origin: Aramaic root, related to the Hebrew שָׁבַק (shavak) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G863 (ἀφίημι, aphiemi): To send away, to leave, to forgive - G2641 (καταλείπω, kataleipo): To leave behind, to abandon Usage: The Aramaic verb "shebaq" primarily means "to leave" or "to forsake." It is used in contexts where someone is allowed to depart or is abandoned. The term can also imply permission, as in allowing something to happen or letting go. Cultural and Historical Background: The use of "shebaq" is found in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra. Aramaic was a common language of the Near East during the time of the Babylonian and Persian empires, and it was used in official documents and communication. Understanding this term within its Aramaic context provides insight into the historical and cultural interactions of the Jewish people during the exile and post-exilic periods.
