It conveys the act of presenting offerings to a deity, often involving the ritual slaughter of animals. Context: The Aramaic term דְּבַח appears in the context of the exilic and post-exilic periods, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra, where Aramaic sections are present. This term is used to describe the act of sacrificing, which was a central aspect of worship in the ancient Near Eastern religious practices, including those of the Israelites. Sacrifices were offered as a means of atonement, thanksgiving, or supplication. In the book of Daniel, the term is used in the context of the cessation of regular sacrifices during the time of persecution (Daniel 8:11-13, BSB). In Ezra, it is used to describe the restoration of sacrificial practices upon the return from exile (Ezra 6:9-10, BSB). The concept of sacrifice is deeply embedded in the covenantal relationship between God and His people, symbolizing devotion, repentance, and communion with the divine.
