Strong's Lexicon bau: To swell, to boil up, to bubble forth Original Word: בָּעוּ Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: ba`uw Pronunciation: baw-ah' Phonetic Spelling: (baw-oo') Definition: a request Meaning: The term בָּעוּ is an Aramaic verb meaning "to request" or "to ask." Word Origin: Aramaic, derived from the root בָּעָה (ba'ah), which means to ask or request. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G155, αἰτέω (aiteō), which also means "to ask" or "to request." This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe the act of making a request or petition, often in the context of prayer or supplication to God. The parallel between בָּעוּ and αἰτέω underscores the continuity of the concept of respectful request across the Hebrew and Greek scriptures. Usage: This word is used in the context of making a request or asking for something, typically in a formal or respectful manner. Context: The Aramaic verb בָּעוּ appears in the context of the Hebrew Bible, particularly in the books that contain Aramaic sections, such as Daniel and Ezra. It is used to describe the act of making a request or petition, often directed towards a figure of authority or in a formal setting. The usage of בָּעוּ reflects the cultural and linguistic influences of the Aramaic language during the period of the Babylonian exile and the subsequent Persian rule, when Aramaic was a lingua franca of the region. In the book of Daniel, for example, the term is used to describe the requests made by Daniel and his companions to the Babylonian officials. The use of בָּעוּ highlights the respectful and formal nature of these requests, emphasizing the importance of proper protocol and deference in communication with authority figures.
