This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the Aramaic term עֲמַר (amar), its usage in the biblical text, and its thematic connections to similar Greek terms in the New Testament.

Usage: The word is used in the context of describing wool, particularly in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament.

Context: The Aramaic term עֲמַר (amar) appears in the context of the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the book of Daniel, which contains sections written in Aramaic. The word is used to describe wool, a common material in ancient times, valued for its use in clothing and textiles. In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is found in Daniel 7:9, where it is used to describe the appearance of the Ancient of Days: "His clothing was white as snow, and the hair of His head like pure wool." This imagery conveys purity and majesty, drawing on the natural whiteness and softness of wool to symbolize divine attributes. The use of Aramaic in this passage highlights the historical and linguistic context of the Jewish people during the Babylonian exile, where Aramaic was a lingua franca of the region.
