Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to twist.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for אוּלַי (Ulai) as it is a proper noun specific to a geographical location in the Hebrew Bible. Usage: The term "Ulai" is used in the context of a river, specifically mentioned in the Book of Daniel. Context: The Ulai is a river referenced in the Book of Daniel, specifically in Daniel 8:2, 16. It is described as the location where Daniel received a vision. The river is historically identified with the Eulaeus, which is associated with the region of ancient Elam, near the city of Susa (Shushan). The Ulai is significant in the biblical narrative as it sets the geographical context for Daniel's vision concerning the ram and the goat, which symbolizes the Medo-Persian and Greek empires, respectively. The river's mention underscores the historical and prophetic elements of the vision, linking it to real-world locations known to the original audience. The Ulai, therefore, serves as a backdrop for divine revelation and the unfolding of God's plan as revealed to Daniel.
