Usage

The Hebrew word "sarab" primarily refers to the intense heat of the desert, often associated with the optical illusion of a mirage. In the biblical context, it is used metaphorically to describe the fleeting and deceptive nature of certain experiences or pursuits, much like a mirage that appears real but vanishes upon approach.
