This Greek term is used throughout the New Testament to denote the same concept of night, often symbolizing a time of watchfulness, prayer, or spiritual significance. Usage: The term לֵילְיָא is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, specifically in the books of Daniel and Ezra, to denote "night." Context: לֵילְיָא (Lael) appears in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, primarily in the books of Daniel and Ezra. In these contexts, it is used to describe the period of darkness between sunset and sunrise, commonly referred to as "night." The term is significant in various narratives, often marking the time for divine revelations, dreams, or significant events. For instance, in the book of Daniel, night is a time when visions and dreams are given to Daniel, revealing God's plans and purposes. The use of לֵילְיָא underscores the theme of divine intervention and revelation during times of darkness, both literal and metaphorical. The Aramaic language, used in these sections, reflects the historical context of the Jewish exile and the influence of surrounding cultures.
