Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Aramaic, akin to the Hebrew אַל (al)Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 3361 (μή, mē): A primary particle of qualified negation (not, lest; also used in prohibitions). Usage: This particle is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament to negate verbs or statements, indicating prohibition, denial, or non-existence. Context: The Aramaic particle אַל is a negation term found in the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra, where Aramaic is used. It functions similarly to its Hebrew counterpart, serving as a negative particle to negate verbs or clauses. In the context of Biblical Aramaic, אַל is employed to convey prohibitions or to negate statements, often in legal or formal declarations. For example, in Daniel 2:5, King Nebuchadnezzar uses אַל to express a prohibition against the wise men, saying, "If you do not tell me the dream, you will be cut into pieces." This usage underscores the authoritative and commanding tone often associated with the particle in scriptural contexts. The particle is integral to understanding the nuances of Aramaic passages within the Hebrew Bible, providing insight into the linguistic and cultural milieu of the time.
