Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Aramaic; corresponding to the Hebrew קָדוֹשׁ (qadosh)

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek term in the Septuagint and the New Testament is ἅγιος (hagios), Strong's Greek Number G39. This Greek term carries a similar meaning of being holy, sacred, or set apart, and is used extensively in the New Testament to describe God, the Holy Spirit, saints, and holy things. The concept of holiness in both Hebrew and Greek underscores the separation from sin and dedication to God's purposes.

Usage: The term קַדִּישׁ is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the Book of Daniel, to denote holiness or sacredness. It is often used to describe divine beings or entities associated with God.

Context: The Aramaic term קַדִּישׁ (qaddish) appears in the context of the Book of Daniel, which contains significant portions written in Aramaic. This term is used to describe beings or things that are holy or set apart for divine purposes. In Daniel, it is often used to refer to heavenly beings or angels, emphasizing their sacred nature and their role as messengers or servants of God. For example, in Daniel 4:13 (BSB), the term is used to describe a "watcher, a holy one" who descends from heaven. This highlights the concept of holiness as being associated with divine authority and purpose.

The use of קַדִּישׁ in Daniel underscores the theme of God's sovereignty and the divine order, where holy beings execute God's will and communicate His messages. The term also reflects the broader biblical theme of holiness, which involves being set apart from the ordinary or profane and dedicated to God's service. In the context of the ancient Near Eastern culture, where Daniel was set, the concept of holiness was central to understanding the relationship between the divine and the earthly realms.
