Definition: The term "aerated" in the Hebrew Bible is translated as "sailing." It's a noun meaning to be or show signs of being floating, or to sail or move smoothly through a sea or water. In the Old Testament, this noun appears to refer to an action that implies sailing. For example, it's used to describe a boat that was "aerated" (lit., "sailed"), implying it had sailed over the waters with ease and without resistance. This phrase is often associated with maritime power or spiritual prowess. The idea of sailing in this way may be seen as a symbol of freedom from bondage or oppression, similar to how the boat could have been driven by winds, representing a sense of being able to navigate and control one's course. Additionally, it can suggest that sailors are capable of flying like birds in the sea, which is often depicted in religious imagery. The word "aerated" appears only three times in the entire Hebrew Bible (the Pentateuch), but it's used in various contexts to describe sailing.
