Usage: This Aramaic verb is used in the context of growth or increase, often referring to the multiplication of people, wealth, or influence. Context: The Aramaic verb רְבָה (rebah) is primarily found in the context of the exilic and post-exilic periods, where Aramaic was commonly used among the Jewish people. It appears in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra. The term conveys the idea of growth or multiplication, whether in terms of population, resources, or power. In the book of Daniel, for example, it is used to describe the increase of dominion and influence of kingdoms. The concept of increase is significant in the biblical narrative, often associated with divine blessing and prosperity. The use of this term in Aramaic highlights the cultural and linguistic influences during the Babylonian exile and the subsequent Persian period, reflecting the historical context in which these texts were written.
