Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The Greek equivalent of the concept of judgment can be found in Strong's Greek entries such as G2919 (κρίνω, krinō), which means "to judge," "to decide," or "to determine." This Greek term is used extensively in the New Testament to describe both human and divine judgment.

This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the Aramaic term דִּין, highlighting its significance in the biblical context and its role in conveying the theme of judgment and justice.

Usage: The term is used in the context of judgment or decision-making, particularly in legal or authoritative settings. It appears in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, specifically in the books of Daniel and Ezra.

Context: • The Aramaic verb דִּין (din) is used in the context of judgment and decision-making. It is found in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, notably in the book of Daniel. For example, in Daniel 7:10, the term is used to describe the divine court where judgment is rendered: "The court was seated, and the books were opened." This reflects the concept of divine judgment and authority.
• The usage of דִּין in the biblical text often implies a formal process of evaluation and decision, highlighting the role of a judge or authority figure in determining outcomes. It is associated with the exercise of justice and the establishment of order.
• In the broader biblical narrative, the concept of judgment is central to understanding God's sovereignty and righteousness. The use of דִּין in the Aramaic texts underscores the continuity of this theme across different languages and cultural contexts within the Bible.
