Usage: This Aramaic adjective is used in the context of describing something as large or great in size, quantity, or degree. It appears in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra. Context: The term שַׂגִּיא (saggîʾ) is an Aramaic adjective found in the biblical texts of Daniel and Ezra, which contain significant Aramaic sections. It is used to describe something that is large or great, often in a metaphorical sense to denote greatness in power, authority, or number. For example, in Daniel 2:48, the term is used to describe the greatness of Daniel's promotion by King Nebuchadnezzar: "Then the king placed Daniel in a high position and lavished on him many gifts. He made him ruler over the entire province of Babylon and chief administrator over all the wise men of Babylon." The word conveys the idea of abundance or magnitude, whether in physical size, numerical quantity, or abstract greatness. In Ezra 5:11, it is used to describe the "great God" in the context of the rebuilding of the temple: "We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are rebuilding the temple that was built many years ago, which a great king of Israel built and finished."
