Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is שְׁאֵלָה (she'elah), which also means "request" or "petition."

In the New Testament, it is often used in the context of prayer or supplication to God, highlighting the act of asking or making a request with a sense of earnestness and humility. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, making requests or petitions was a common practice, both in religious and secular contexts. Petitioning deities or authorities was a way to seek favor, assistance, or intervention. In Jewish tradition, prayer was a central aspect of worship and daily life, and making requests to God was seen as an expression of faith and dependence on His providence.
