Definition: The word 'alerted' in the Greek language has its roots in the verb 'alazonein,' which means to be excited or alarmed. In English, this word can be translated as "to wake up" or "to stir." In Hebrew and other languages where words are not yet formed, a similar meaning is derived from a root that originally meant "to cause astonishment." So in the Greek language, it could be interpreted as something like, "to amaze someone by surprising them with something unexpected." The word 'alerted' can also mean to be excited or alarmed; for example, an alert might arise when someone is very shocked. However, this term isn't as widely recognized in the Bible, so its exact meaning remains uncertain. In essence, it's a description of being startled or amazed by something else and can sometimes be used metaphorically to express surprise. It is closely associated with Hebrews 1:23-24, where it serves as an encouragement for those who are frightened but not completely overwhelmed: "Then I said, "Son of Man, do not fear; you will be delivered from the evil one." And He said to me, "I am the One you are waiting for; come now, stand outside and wait for me." The word 'alerted' was a term that appears in Hebrews 1:24, but it's unclear if this verse speaks of alerting someone who is about to be delivered from the evil one or if it refers specifically to being alarmed by something other than a deliverance. It could be used metaphorically to express surprise and awe at an event, as well as for any reaction to an unexpected situation, depending on its context in the Hebrew Bible.
