Context: • קְצַץ is an Aramaic verb found in the book of Daniel, which contains sections written in Aramaic. The term is used to describe the act of cutting or chopping off, often in a context that implies judgment or removal. In Daniel 4:14 (BSB), the word is used in the vision of the tree that is to be cut down: "He called out loudly: ‘Cut down the tree and trim off its branches; strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit. Let the beasts flee from under it, and the birds from its branches.’" This passage uses the imagery of cutting down a tree to symbolize the humbling of King Nebuchadnezzar, illustrating the divine judgment and the removal of his power and glory. The use of קְצַץ in this context emphasizes the decisive and complete nature of the action.
