Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Aramaic; a root wordCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 2920: κρίσις (krisis) • judgment, decision Usage: This Aramaic verb is used in the context of making a decision or decree, often implying a sense of cutting or dividing, akin to the act of quarrying stone. It is used in the context of determining or decreeing something with authority. Context: The Aramaic verb גְּזַר (gezar) appears in the context of the book of Daniel, which contains significant portions written in Aramaic. The term is used to describe the act of making a decree or decision, often by a figure of authority. In Daniel 2:27, the term is used when Daniel speaks to King Nebuchadnezzar about the inability of the wise men to "declare" or "determine" the king's dream. The usage of גְּזַר in this context highlights the limitations of human wisdom and the need for divine revelation. The act of "determining" or "decreeing" is portrayed as a significant and authoritative action, often reserved for those in positions of power or divine insight.
