Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from a root corresponding to the Hebrew צַד (tsad), meaning "side" or "beside."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the Aramaic צַד, similar concepts of positioning or adjacency can be found in Greek terms such as παρά (para, Strong's Greek 3844), which means "beside" or "alongside." This Greek term is often used in the New Testament to convey similar spatial relationships.

Usage: This term is used in the context of positioning or location, often to describe something that is beside or alongside another object or person.

Context: • The Aramaic word צַד (tsad) appears in the context of the Hebrew Bible, particularly in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament. It is used to describe spatial relationships, often indicating that something is located at the side of or beside something else. This term is found in the book of Daniel, where it is used to describe the positioning of objects or people in relation to one another.
• For example, in Daniel 7:5, the term is used to describe the position of a bear, "And behold, another beast, a second one, resembling a bear. It was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth; and thus they said to it, 'Arise, devour much flesh!'" (BSB). Here, the term "on one side" uses the Aramaic צַד to indicate the bear's posture.
• The usage of צַד in the Aramaic portions of the Bible highlights the linguistic transition and the influence of Aramaic during the period of the Babylonian exile, reflecting the historical and cultural context of the Jewish people during this time.
