ge.vu.rah denotes the might ascribed to God and given by him alongside wisdom in Daniel’s prayer.

The attested use denotes might in Daniel’s prayer: it belongs to God in Daniel 2:20 and is thanked for as a gift given with wisdom in Daniel 2:23.

Senses in use

  1. Might belonging to and given by God · dominant

    The determined feminine singular noun occurs in Daniel 2:20 in Daniel’s blessing, where the APB renders that wisdom and “might belong to him.” In Daniel 2:23, Daniel gives thanks because God has given wisdom and “might,” linking the term with what God possesses and grants.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across both verses, the APB presents the clause with “might”: first as belonging to God and then as given by God. This reflects the clauses’ overall presentation rather than a precise token-by-token rendering.
