Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Aramaic; a root word

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3936 (παρίστημι, paristēmi): To place beside, to present, to stand by. This Greek term can imply a gathering or standing together, though not necessarily with the tumultuous connotation of רְגַשׁ.
• G4334 (προσέρχομαι, proserchomai): To come near, to approach. This term is used for approaching or coming together, often in a more orderly or purposeful manner compared to the tumultuous gathering implied by רְגַשׁ.

In summary, רְגַשׁ (regash) captures the essence of a disorderly and noisy assembly, often with implications of conspiracy or agitation, as seen in its usage in the book of Daniel. The corresponding Greek terms, while related to gathering or approaching, do not inherently carry the same tumultuous connotation.

Usage: This term is used in the context of a group or crowd coming together in a tumultuous or disorderly fashion. It conveys the idea of a noisy assembly or a gathering characterized by confusion and commotion.

Context: • The Aramaic verb רְגַשׁ (regash) appears in the context of tumultuous gatherings, often implying a sense of disorder or uproar. This term is used in the book of Daniel, where it describes the actions of people or groups coming together in a chaotic manner. The usage of רְגַשׁ highlights the intensity and disorderliness of the assembly, often in opposition to a figure of authority or in response to a significant event.
• In Daniel 6:6 (BSB), the term is used to describe the officials who "came by agreement" to King Darius, indicating a conspiratorial and tumultuous gathering: "So the administrators and satraps went together to the king and said to him, 'May King Darius live forever!'"
• The term underscores the collective movement and the emotional fervor of the group, often with an undertone of rebellion or agitation against established order.
