Context: • The Aramaic word זְעֵיר (ze'ir) appears in the context of the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Daniel, which contains sections written in Aramaic. This term is used to describe something of small size or minor importance. In Daniel 7:8, the word is used to describe a "little horn" that emerges among other horns, symbolizing a minor power or entity that gains prominence. The use of זְעֵיר in this context highlights the theme of seemingly insignificant beginnings leading to greater influence or impact, a common motif in biblical literature. The Berean Standard Bible translates this passage as: "While I was contemplating the horns, suddenly another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. And this horn had eyes like those of a man and a mouth that spoke words of arrogance."
