Usage: The term שְׁפַל is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Daniel. It conveys the idea of being brought low or humbled, often in relation to pride or exaltation. Context: The Aramaic verb שְׁפַל (shephal) appears in the context of the book of Daniel, which contains sections written in Aramaic. This term is used to describe the act of being humbled or brought low, often in contrast to being exalted or lifted up. In Daniel 4:37, the term is used in the context of King Nebuchadnezzar's humbling experience, where he acknowledges the sovereignty of God and recognizes that those who walk in pride, God is able to humble: "Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, for all His works are true and all His ways are just. And He is able to humble those who walk in pride." (BSB). This reflects a broader biblical theme where human pride is contrasted with divine sovereignty, and the act of being humbled is seen as a necessary step towards recognizing God's authority and power.
