Usage: This Aramaic adjective appears in the context of describing something of great size or power, often used in the book of Daniel to depict large or powerful entities. Context: The term רַבְרַב is found in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, particularly in the book of Daniel. It is used to describe entities that are significant in size or influence. For instance, in Daniel 4:10 (BSB), the vision of the great tree is described using this term: "These were the visions in my mind as I lay on my bed: I saw a tree in the midst of the land, and its height was great." Here, רַבְרַב emphasizes the grandeur and imposing nature of the tree, symbolizing a powerful kingdom or ruler. The use of this term in the Aramaic portions of Daniel highlights the cultural and linguistic context of the Babylonian exile, where Aramaic was the lingua franca. The word conveys not only physical size but also the concept of dominance and authority, fitting the themes of power and sovereignty that run throughout the book of Daniel.
