Usage: The term גֹּבּ is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, specifically in the Book of Daniel, to describe a pit or den, most famously in the context of the "lion's den." Context: The Aramaic word גֹּבּ (gôb) appears in the Book of Daniel, a text that includes significant portions written in Aramaic. This term is notably used in Daniel 6, where it describes the "den of lions" into which Daniel is cast as a result of his unwavering faith and prayer to God, despite the king's decree. The narrative highlights the miraculous protection Daniel receives from God, as the lions do not harm him. The use of גֹּבּ in this context underscores the peril and confinement associated with a pit, while also serving as a backdrop for divine intervention and deliverance. The story of Daniel in the lion's den is a powerful testament to faith and God's sovereignty, illustrating that even in the most dire circumstances, God's protection prevails.
