Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Strong's Hebrew Number 3675, as it is specific to the Aramaic language and context. However, the concept of a colleague or associate can be related to Greek terms such as συνεργός (synergos), meaning "fellow worker" or "associate," which is used in the New Testament to describe individuals working together in ministry or other collaborative efforts.

Usage: The term כְּנָת is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament to refer to a colleague or associate, often in a governmental or administrative setting.

Context: The Aramaic term כְּנָת (kenat) appears in the context of the administrative and governmental structures of the ancient Near East, particularly in the book of Daniel. It is used to describe individuals who serve as colleagues or associates in official capacities. The term reflects the hierarchical and collaborative nature of governance during the period of the Babylonian and Persian empires. In Daniel 3:2, the term is used to describe the officials summoned by King Nebuchadnezzar to the dedication of the golden image he had set up. The usage of כְּנָת highlights the organized and structured nature of the royal administration, where various officials and colleagues worked together to implement the king's decrees and manage the affairs of the state.
