These Greek terms parallel the concept of strength found in חֵסֶן, highlighting the thematic continuity between the Hebrew and Greek scriptures regarding the nature of power and authority. Usage: This Aramaic term is used in the context of strength, particularly in the sense of physical might or the power to accomplish something. It is found in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, reflecting the linguistic diversity of the biblical text. Context: The term חֵסֶן (chesen) appears in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Daniel. It is used to describe the strength or power of a kingdom or ruler. In Daniel 11:7, the term is employed to depict the might of a king who will rise and act with great power. The use of חֵסֶן in this context emphasizes the formidable nature of the king's authority and the impact of his actions. The Aramaic language, used in parts of Daniel, reflects the historical and cultural milieu of the Jewish people during the Babylonian and Persian periods, when Aramaic was a lingua franca of the region. The concept of strength, as conveyed by חֵסֶן, is integral to understanding the dynamics of power and leadership in the biblical narrative.
