Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root word in Hebrew אָת (H226), which means "sign" or "omen."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek term often associated with the concept of a sign or portent is σημεῖον (G4592), which is used in the New Testament to describe miracles and signs that attest to the divine nature of Jesus' ministry and the truth of the Gospel message.

Usage: The term אָת is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra, to denote a sign or wonder that serves as evidence of divine intervention or authority.

Context: The Aramaic word אָת appears in the context of the Old Testament as a term signifying a sign or portent, often associated with divine acts or messages. In the book of Daniel, for example, it is used to describe the miraculous signs and wonders performed by God to demonstrate His power and authority over earthly kingdoms. These signs serve as a testament to God's sovereignty and are meant to inspire awe and reverence among those who witness them.

In Daniel 4:2 (BSB), King Nebuchadnezzar acknowledges the "signs and wonders" that the Most High God has performed for him, using the term אָת to describe these divine acts. Similarly, in Daniel 6:27 (BSB), the term is used to describe the miraculous deliverance of Daniel from the lions' den, highlighting God's ability to perform signs and wonders.

The use of אָת in these contexts underscores the concept of divine intervention in human affairs, serving as a reminder of God's omnipotence and the fulfillment of His purposes. These signs are not merely natural phenomena but are imbued with spiritual significance, pointing to the reality of God's active presence in the world.
