Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with translation is "μεταφράζω" (metaphrázō), which also means to translate or interpret. Usage: The Hebrew verb "tirgam" refers to the act of translating or interpreting spoken or written language from one form to another. In the context of the Bible, it often involves translating Hebrew or Aramaic texts into another language, such as Greek or a vernacular language of the time. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient times, the ability to translate and interpret languages was highly valued, especially in a multicultural and multilingual region like the Near East. The Jewish community, particularly during and after the Babylonian exile, encountered various languages and cultures, necessitating the translation of sacred texts. The most famous example of this is the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures, which was widely used in the Hellenistic world.
