Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Hebrew and Greek terms, the concept of a "man" or "male person" in the Greek New Testament can be related to terms such as ἀνήρ (anēr, Strong's Greek 435), which also denotes a man or husband, often with an emphasis on maturity or authority.

Usage: The term גְּבַר is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra, to denote a man or male person. It is used to describe individuals in various contexts, often highlighting their role or actions.

Context: • The term גְּבַר appears in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, primarily in the books of Daniel and Ezra. It is used to refer to a man, often in contexts that emphasize strength, capability, or authority. In the book of Daniel, גְּבַר is used to describe individuals who are involved in significant events or actions, such as the men who were thrown into the fiery furnace (Daniel 3:8, 12, 20). The term underscores the human element in divine narratives, highlighting the role of individuals in the unfolding of God's plans.
• In Ezra, גְּבַר is used in the context of the return from exile and the rebuilding of the temple, referring to the men involved in these significant historical and religious events (Ezra 5:4, 10). The use of גְּבַר in these contexts serves to emphasize the active participation and responsibility of individuals in the community's restoration and worship practices.
• The term is closely related to the Hebrew גֶּבֶר (geber), which also denotes a man, often with an emphasis on strength or valor. This connection highlights the shared linguistic and cultural heritage between the Hebrew and Aramaic languages in the biblical text.
