Usage: This Aramaic verb is used in the context of deliverance or rescue, often implying a release from danger or captivity.

Context: The Aramaic verb שְׁזַב (shezab) appears in the context of the Old Testament, particularly in the book of Daniel, which contains significant portions written in Aramaic. This term is used to describe acts of divine deliverance, where God intervenes to rescue His people from peril. For instance, in Daniel 3:28, the term is used when Nebuchadnezzar acknowledges the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego for delivering them from the fiery furnace: "Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent His angel and delivered His servants who trusted in Him." The usage of שְׁזַב underscores the theme of divine salvation and protection, highlighting God's power to liberate His faithful followers from seemingly insurmountable threats. This concept of deliverance is central to the narrative of Daniel, where God's sovereignty and ability to save are repeatedly demonstrated.
