Usage: The term תְּמַהּ is used in the context of describing miraculous events or wonders that are beyond human explanation, often attributed to divine intervention.

Context: The Aramaic term תְּמַהּ (temah) appears in the context of the Old Testament, particularly in the book of Daniel, which contains sections written in Aramaic. This term is used to describe events that are perceived as miraculous or wondrous, often serving as signs of divine power and authority. In the book of Daniel, such wonders are typically associated with God's intervention in the affairs of men, demonstrating His sovereignty and ability to perform acts that defy natural explanation. These miracles serve to affirm the faith of believers and to challenge the understanding of those who witness them.

For example, in Daniel 4:2 (BSB), King Nebuchadnezzar speaks of the "signs and wonders" that the Most High God has performed for him, highlighting the miraculous nature of God's actions. The use of תְּמַהּ in this context underscores the extraordinary and awe-inspiring nature of these divine acts.
