Strong's Lexicon yaah: To sweep, to gather, to heap up Original Word: יָעָה Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: ya`ah Pronunciation: yah-ah Phonetic Spelling: (yaw-aw') Definition: to brush aside Meaning: To brush aside, sweep away Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance that corresponds to the Hebrew יָעָה (ya'ah). However, Greek terms that convey similar actions of removal or clearing might include verbs like καθαίρω (kathairō • to cleanse, purge) or ἀφαιρέω (aphaireō • to take away, remove), though these are not direct translations but rather convey similar concepts in different contexts. Usage: The verb יָעָה (ya'ah) is used in the context of removing or sweeping away, often metaphorically to describe the act of clearing or disposing of something undesirable or unnecessary. Context: The Hebrew verb יָעָה (ya'ah) appears in the Old Testament with the primary sense of sweeping away or brushing aside. This term is often used in a metaphorical sense to describe the removal of obstacles or the clearing away of impurities. The action implied by יָעָה is one of decisive and thorough removal, suggesting a complete and effective clearing. The verb is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, which may indicate its specific and targeted application in the texts where it does appear. The imagery associated with יָעָה can be linked to the idea of purification or preparation, as in the clearing of a path or the removal of debris to make way for something new or better.
