Abstract

Among the Qur'anic synonyms for which the commentators did not distinguish semantically, the words "be'er" and "jobb" are considered. The word "be'er" is one of the Qur'anic variations that is mentioned in verse 45 of Surah Al-Hajj, but the word "Jobb" has been used twice and only in Surah Yusuf. Linguists and Quranic scholars believe that these two words have Arabic roots and the only difference is in their depth. But the truth seems to be the opposite of this claim. This led the leading paper to discuss the roots of words in the Semitic language family (Arabic, Hebrew and Aramaic) and to study these words in a descriptive-analytical and comparative manner and with reference to historical religious events. The findings indicate that the word "be'er" is one of the words used in the Semitic languages, but from exactly which of the Semitic language groups does it belong to the other groups? But the word "Jobb" is clearly Aramaic in origin, and the reason why God Almighty uses the word Aramaic in Surah Yusuf is that the historical evidence is that the Prophet Ibrahim and all his descendants were from Harran. Their language was either distinctly Aramaic or they spoke Aramaic influenced by Aramaic.
