It conveys the concept of existence or occurrence, often translated as "to be" or "to become." Context: The Aramaic verb הָוָא (hāwā') is a fundamental term used to express existence or the state of being. It is the Aramaic equivalent of the Hebrew verb הָיָה (hāyâ), which carries a similar meaning. In the context of the Old Testament, הָוָא is predominantly found in the Aramaic sections, such as Daniel 2:20, where Daniel praises God, saying, "Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and power belong to Him." Here, the verb underscores the eternal existence and sovereignty of God. The verb is also used in narrative contexts to describe events or states of being, as seen in Daniel 3:25, where Nebuchadnezzar observes, "Look! I see four men, unbound and unharmed, walking in the fire, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods!" The use of הָוָא in these passages highlights the dynamic and active presence of God and His interventions in human history. The verb is integral to understanding the theological themes of divine sovereignty and providence in the Aramaic texts of the Bible.
