Context: • The term חַסִּיר (chasir) is found in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, particularly in the book of Daniel. It is used to describe a state of deficiency or lack. In Daniel 5:27, the term is part of the interpretation of the writing on the wall, where it is used to convey the idea of being weighed and found wanting.
