Usage: This Aramaic verb is used in the context of trampling or prostrating, often implying a forceful or submissive action. Context: The Aramaic verb רְפַס (rephas) appears in the context of the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Daniel, which contains sections written in Aramaic. The term is used to describe actions that involve trampling or prostrating, often in a metaphorical sense to convey subjugation or defeat. In Daniel 3:6, the word is used to describe the act of being thrown down or prostrated before the fiery furnace as a consequence of not worshiping the golden image set up by King Nebuchadnezzar. The imagery of trampling or prostration in this context underscores the severity of the king's decree and the absolute power he wielded over his subjects. The use of רְפַס highlights the theme of divine sovereignty versus human authority, a recurring motif in the book of Daniel.
