These Greek entries correspond to the concept of revealing or making known, similar to the Aramaic חֲוָא, and are used in the New Testament to describe acts of revelation, explanation, and demonstration.

Usage: This Aramaic verb is used in the context of revealing or making something known, often in a declarative or demonstrative manner.

Context: • The Aramaic verb חֲוָא (chava) is primarily used in the context of revealing or showing something. It appears in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra. The verb is often used in narratives where a revelation or declaration is made, such as the interpretation of dreams or the proclamation of decrees.
• In the book of Daniel, חֲוָא is used to describe the act of making known the interpretation of dreams or visions. For example, Daniel 2:47 in the Berean Standard Bible (BSB) states, "The king said to Daniel, 'Truly your God is the God of gods and Lord of kings, and a revealer of mysteries, for you were able to reveal this mystery.'"
• The verb is also used in contexts where a message or decree is being communicated, emphasizing the act of making something known to others. This aligns with the broader theme of divine revelation and communication found throughout the biblical narrative.
