Context: The term תַּקִּיף (taqqif) is an Aramaic adjective found in the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the Aramaic portions of the text. It is used to denote power or might, often in the context of rulers or kingdoms. In the book of Daniel, for example, it is used to describe the might of empires and kings. The word conveys a sense of formidable strength and authority, emphasizing the capability to exert control or influence. The usage of this term in the biblical text highlights the transient nature of human power in contrast to the eternal sovereignty of God. The Berean Standard Bible translates this term in contexts that reflect the overwhelming power or dominance of earthly rulers, yet it also serves as a reminder of the ultimate power of the divine.
