Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Aramaic term אֻשַּׁרְנָא in the Strong's Greek lexicon. However, the concept of a wall can be related to Greek terms such as τείχος (teichos, Strong's Greek 5038), which also means a wall, particularly in the context of city fortifications.

Usage: The term אֻשַּׁרְנָא is used in the context of describing a physical wall, particularly in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament.

Context: The term אֻשַּׁרְנָא appears in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Daniel. It is used to describe a wall, emphasizing its function as a barrier or a structure that encloses or protects an area. In the context of the ancient Near East, walls were significant for the defense of cities and buildings, serving both practical and symbolic purposes. They were often constructed from stone or mud-brick and were integral to the architecture of the time. The use of the term in the biblical text highlights the importance of walls in the historical and cultural setting of the narrative.
