Strong's Lexicon yaqats: To awake, to awaken Original Word: יָקַץ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1453 (ἐγείρω, egeirō): To raise, to awaken - G1326 (διαγείρω, diageirō): To thoroughly awaken Usage: The Hebrew verb "yaqats" primarily means "to awake" or "to awaken." It is used in the context of waking from sleep, both in a literal and metaphorical sense. The term can imply a sudden or abrupt awakening, often with a sense of alertness or realization. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, sleep was often seen as a state of vulnerability and unawareness. Awakening, therefore, carried connotations of returning to a state of consciousness and readiness. The act of waking up could symbolize a new beginning or a call to action, reflecting the importance of being spiritually and physically alert in one's life and duties.
