Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Aramaic root נְדַע (nadaʿ), which is related to the Hebrew root יָדַע (yadaʿ), meaning "to know."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G5424: φρήν (phrēn) • This Greek term is often translated as "mind" or "understanding" and is used in the New Testament to denote the seat of intellectual and emotional faculties. It corresponds to the concept of wisdom or intelligence as an inner capacity for discernment and comprehension, similar to the Aramaic מַנְדַּע. Usage: The word מַנְדַּע is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, specifically in the Book of Daniel, to denote wisdom or intelligence. It is often associated with the divine gift of understanding or the intellectual capacity to discern and interpret. Context: • מַנְדַּע appears in the Aramaic sections of the Book of Daniel, a text that includes narratives and visions set during the Babylonian exile. The term is used to describe the wisdom and understanding given by God to Daniel and his companions. For instance, in Daniel 2:21, it is implied that God grants wisdom and knowledge to those who seek Him. The context of its usage often highlights the contrast between divine wisdom and human understanding, emphasizing the superiority of God-given insight.
