Usage: The word טְעֵם is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra. It is employed to convey the concept of judgment or decision-making, often in the context of royal decrees or official orders.

Context: • The term טְעֵם appears in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, notably in the book of Daniel.

• In Daniel 4:17, the term is used in the context of divine judgment: "This decision is by the decree of the watchers, and the sentence by the word of the holy ones, so that the living may know that the Most High rules over the kingdom of men and gives it to whom He wishes and sets over it the lowliest of men."
• The word conveys the authority and finality of a decision, whether human or divine, emphasizing the importance of discernment and understanding in governance and spiritual matters.
