Brown-Driver-Briggs [אֵימְתָן D§ 35, 1 θ] adjective terrible (ᵑ7 אֵימְתָן, from אֵימְתָא = Biblical Hebrew אֵימָה, q. v. v אים); — feminine singular absolute אֵימְתָנִי (K§ 61, 5)) Daniel 7:7 (on form see PrätZMG lvi (1902), 156 NöBSSW 51, Anm. 3). Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Aramaic root אֲמַת (amat), which is related to the Hebrew root אָמַץ (amats), meaning "to be strong" or "to be mighty." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of strength or might in the Greek language can be found in several Strong's Greek entries, such as: • G2479 (ἰσχύς, ischys): meaning "strength" or "might." • G2904 (κράτος, kratos): meaning "power" or "dominion." • G1411 (δύναμις, dynamis): meaning "power" or "ability." These Greek terms capture similar nuances of strength and capability as the Aramaic אֵמְתָּנִי, reflecting the importance of these attributes in both the Hebrew and Greek biblical texts. Usage: This Aramaic term is used in the context of describing strength or might, often in relation to physical prowess or capability. Context: The term אֵמְתָּנִי appears in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Daniel. It is used to describe individuals or entities that possess significant strength or power. The term conveys the idea of being well-equipped or fortified, often in a physical sense, but it can also imply a broader sense of might or capability. In the context of the ancient Near East, where physical strength was highly valued, this term would have been understood as a commendation of one's ability to withstand challenges or to exert influence.
