Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root חַי (chay), meaning "to live" or "life."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 2342: θηρίον (therion), meaning "a wild beast" or "animal," often used in the New Testament to symbolize destructive or malevolent forces, as seen in the Book of Revelation. Usage: The term חֵיוָא is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, specifically in the Book of Daniel, to refer to animals or beasts. It is often used in a symbolic context to represent kingdoms or empires. Context: The Aramaic word חֵיוָא (cheyva) appears in the Book of Daniel, a text that includes significant portions written in Aramaic. This term is primarily found in the prophetic visions of Daniel, where it is used to describe various beasts that symbolize empires or kingdoms. For instance, in Daniel 7:3, the text states, "Four great beasts, each different from the others, came up out of the sea." These beasts are later interpreted as representing four successive kingdoms. The use of חֵיוָא in these passages underscores the symbolic nature of the visions, where animals are employed to convey the characteristics and destinies of human empires. The imagery of beasts in Daniel serves to communicate the transient and often violent nature of earthly powers, contrasting with the eternal kingdom of God.
