Context: The Aramaic word הֵיכַל (heikal) appears in the context of the exilic and post-exilic periods, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra. It is used to describe grand structures that serve as centers of power and worship. In Daniel 5:2-3, the term is used to refer to the temple in Jerusalem, highlighting its significance as a sacred space.
