Usage: The word טְפַר is used in the context of describing the physical characteristics of animals or humans, specifically referring to nails, claws, or hooves. Context: • The Aramaic term טְפַר (tephar) appears in the context of the Book of Daniel, which contains sections written in Aramaic. This word is used to describe the claws of animals, emphasizing their strength and ferocity. In Daniel 4:33, the term is used to describe the transformation of King Nebuchadnezzar, whose nails grew like bird claws during his period of madness. This imagery highlights the king's descent into a beast-like state, symbolizing his loss of human dignity and reason. The use of טְפַר in this context underscores the biblical theme of divine judgment and the humbling of human pride.
