Usage: The Aramaic verb "nephaq" primarily means "to go out" or "to come forth." It is used in the context of movement from one place to another, often implying a transition or change of state. This verb is typically found in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra, where it describes physical movement or the emergence of something.

Cultural and Historical Background: The use of Aramaic in the Old Testament reflects the historical context of the Jewish people during the Babylonian exile and the subsequent Persian period. Aramaic was the lingua franca of the Near East during this time, and its presence in the biblical text highlights the cultural and linguistic influences on the Jewish community. The verb "nephaq" is part of this Aramaic influence, illustrating the everyday language and expressions used by the people during this period.
