Context: The Aramaic term עֲמַר (amar) appears in the context of the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the book of Daniel, which contains sections written in Aramaic. The word is used to describe wool, a common material in ancient times, valued for its use in clothing and textiles. In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is found in Daniel 7:9, where it is used to describe the appearance of the Ancient of Days: "His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of His head like pure wool."
