Usage: The word קַדְמַי is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament to denote something that is first or former, often in a temporal sense. Context: The Aramaic term קַדְמַי (qadmāy) appears in the context of the Old Testament, specifically in the books of Daniel and Ezra, which contain sections written in Aramaic. This term is used to describe something that is first in sequence or precedence. In the book of Daniel, it is used to refer to the "first" year of a king's reign, indicating the initial or beginning period of their rule. Similarly, in Ezra, it is used to denote the "former" or "first" temple, contrasting it with the subsequent temple built after the Babylonian exile. The use of קַדְמַי highlights the importance of beginnings and precedence in the biblical narrative, often setting the stage for subsequent events or developments.
