Context: The Aramaic verb קְבַל (qebal) is primarily found in the post-exilic books of the Old Testament, where Aramaic sections are present. It is used to describe the act of receiving or accepting something, often in a formal or official capacity. In the book of Ezra, it is used in the context of receiving letters or decrees, as seen in Ezra 4:11, "This is the copy of the letter that they sent to him." In Daniel, it is used to describe the reception of messages or visions, as in Daniel 2:6, "But if you tell me the dream and its interpretation, you will receive from me gifts and rewards and great honor."

The verb קְבַל is significant in understanding the interactions and communications during the Persian period, reflecting the administrative and diplomatic language of the time. Its usage underscores the importance of official documents and communications in the governance and religious life of the Jewish people during the exile and subsequent return to Jerusalem.
