However, similar concepts of stripping or removing can be found in Greek words such as ἀποδύω (apodyo • Strong's Greek 1562), which means to strip off or take off clothing. This Greek term is used in the New Testament to convey similar ideas of removal or transformation, often in a metaphorical sense. Usage: This Aramaic verb is used in the context of pulling off or stripping away, often referring to the removal of clothing or other coverings. Context: The Aramaic verb מְרַט (merat) appears in the context of the book of Daniel, specifically in Daniel 7:4. In this passage, the term is used metaphorically to describe the action of pulling off or stripping away, which is part of a vision involving symbolic beasts. The imagery of pulling off or stripping is significant in the prophetic literature, often symbolizing the removal of power, authority, or protection. In Daniel 7:4, the term is used to describe the transformation of a beast, indicating a change in its nature or status. This usage highlights the dramatic and often unsettling nature of prophetic visions, where physical actions like pulling off can represent deeper spiritual or political realities.
