Context: רְשַׁם (resham) is an Aramaic verb found in the context of recording or inscribing information. This term is primarily used in the books of Ezra and Daniel, which contain significant portions of Aramaic text. In Ezra, רְשַׁם is used to describe the act of recording decrees or official documents, often in relation to the Persian administration's interactions with the Jewish people during the post-exilic period. For example, in Ezra 4:15, the term is used to refer to the recording of a search in the archives to verify historical claims: "so that a search may be made in the archives of your fathers." In Daniel, the term is used in a similar context of official documentation and decrees.

The use of רְשַׁם highlights the importance of written records in the administration and governance of empires, as well as the reliance on such records for legal and historical validation. The act of recording was crucial for maintaining order and ensuring the continuity of decrees and laws across vast territories.
