It appears in Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, reflecting similar themes as its Hebrew counterpart. Context: The term עַרְוָה is found in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra. It is used to describe conditions of exposure and vulnerability, both physically and metaphorically. In the context of Daniel 2:22, the term is associated with the revealing of hidden things, emphasizing the idea of uncovering or making known what is concealed. This aligns with the broader biblical theme of God as the revealer of mysteries and the one who exposes the hidden things of darkness. The concept of nakedness in the Bible often symbolizes shame, exposure, and the need for covering, which is addressed through divine provision and protection. The use of עַרְוָה in the Aramaic texts underscores the human condition of vulnerability before God and the need for His intervention and covering.
