Strong's Lexicon sarappim: Seraphim Original Word: שַׂרְעַף Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: sar`aph Pronunciation: sah-rah-feem Phonetic Spelling: (sar-af') Definition: cogitation Meaning: The term "cogitation" refers to thoughts, reflections, or mental deliberations. It implies a state of inner contemplation or the process of thinking deeply about something. Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׂרַע (sara'), which is not used in the Hebrew Bible but is related to the concept of mental activity or agitation. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for שַׂרְעַף (sar'af) in the Strong's Concordance, related concepts of thought and reflection can be found in Greek terms such as διαλογισμός (dialogismos • Strong's Greek 1261), which means reasoning or thought, and νοῦς (nous • Strong's Greek 3563), referring to the mind or intellect. These Greek terms capture similar ideas of mental processes and deliberations found in the Hebrew concept of שַׂרְעַף. Usage: The word שַׂרְעַף (sar'af) is used in the context of mental processes, particularly those involving deep thought or reflection. It appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe the inner workings of the mind, often in a state of agitation or intense consideration. Context: The Hebrew term שַׂרְעַף (sar'af) is found in the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Daniel. It is used to describe the internal thoughts and reflections of an individual, often in a context of concern or anxiety. In Daniel 4:19 (BSB), the term is used to describe the thoughts of Daniel as he interprets King Nebuchadnezzar's dream: "Then Daniel, whose name is Belteshazzar, was perplexed for a moment, and his thoughts alarmed him." Here, the word conveys a sense of mental disturbance or agitation as Daniel contemplates the meaning of the dream and its implications. The use of שַׂרְעַף highlights the depth and intensity of Daniel's internal deliberations, reflecting a broader biblical theme of the importance of wisdom and understanding in interpreting divine messages.
