It is used in the New Testament to describe the seat of power, both earthly and divine. Usage: The term מַלְכוּ is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra, to denote the concept of dominion or kingdom. It is often used in the context of describing the rule or authority of earthly kings or the divine sovereignty of God. Context: • מַלְכוּ appears in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, primarily in the book of Daniel. It is used to describe the dominion or kingdom of earthly rulers, such as Nebuchadnezzar, as well as the eternal dominion of God. For example, in Daniel 4:3 (BSB), it is written, "How great are His signs, how mighty His wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and His dominion endures from generation to generation."
