Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Aramaic, corresponding to the Hebrew preposition עַל (al).Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 1909: ἐπί (epi) – often translated as "on," "upon," "over," or "against," similar to the usage of עַל in Aramaic. Usage: This preposition is used in various contexts within the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra. It conveys a range of meanings depending on the context, including physical positioning, authority, causation, and opposition. Context: The Aramaic preposition עַל is a versatile term found in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament. It is primarily used to indicate a position or relationship of superiority or authority, as seen in Daniel 6:3, "Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the administrators and satraps because an excellent spirit was in him." It can also denote physical placement, as in Daniel 3:30, "Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon." Additionally, עַל can express opposition or adversity, as in Daniel 6:24, "And the king commanded, and they brought those men who had maliciously accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions." The preposition is integral in understanding the dynamics of power, authority, and conflict in the narrative contexts where it appears.
