Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root עקר (Akkadian: ikkaru), which means "to uproot" or "to pluck up."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the Aramaic עִקַּר, similar concepts can be found in Greek terms related to roots or foundational elements, such as ῥίζα (rhiza • Strong's Greek 4491), which means "root" and is used metaphorically in the New Testament to describe the origin or source of something, particularly in relation to faith or lineage. Usage: The word עִקַּר is used in the context of describing the foundational or primary part of a plant, often metaphorically representing the source or origin of a lineage or family. Context: • The Aramaic term עִקַּר appears in the context of the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Daniel. It is used to describe the "stock" or "stem" of a tree, symbolizing the foundational aspect of a kingdom or a ruler's lineage. In Daniel 4:15 (BSB), the term is part of a vision where a tree is cut down, leaving only the stump, which represents the preservation of the kingdom's root or base for future restoration. This imagery is significant in illustrating the idea of divine sovereignty and the potential for renewal and growth from a remnant or foundational element.
