Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Aramaic; a root corresponding to the Hebrew יָשַׁב (yashab) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek 2521: κάθημαι (kathēmai) • to sit, be seated • Strong's Greek 2730: κατοικέω (katoikeō) • to dwell, inhabit These Greek terms reflect similar meanings of sitting or dwelling, often used in the New Testament to describe physical sitting or metaphorical dwelling, such as residing in a place or state. Usage: This Aramaic verb is used in the context of sitting or dwelling, often in a figurative sense to denote residing or remaining in a place. Context: The Aramaic verb יְתִב (yetiv) appears in the context of the exilic and post-exilic periods when Aramaic was commonly used among the Jewish people, especially in official and administrative settings. The term is primarily found in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, such as the books of Daniel and Ezra. It conveys the idea of sitting or dwelling, which can imply a settled or established presence. In the book of Daniel, for example, it is used to describe the act of sitting in judgment or taking a seat of authority. This reflects the cultural and historical context of the Jewish people during the Babylonian and Persian empires, where Aramaic served as a lingua franca. Example from the Berean Standard Bible (BSB): • Daniel 7:9: "As I continued to watch, thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took His seat. His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was flaming with fire, and its wheels were all ablaze." In this passage, the term יְתִב is used to describe the Ancient of Days taking His seat, symbolizing authority and judgment.
