ziv denotes visible radiance or appearance, seen in an image's brightness and in changed facial appearance.

The attested use concerns visible radiance or appearance: Daniel 2:31 presents the extraordinary brightness of a great image, while Daniel 5:6, Daniel 5:9, Daniel 5:10, and Daniel 7:28 place the forms in verses describing a changed face or appearance under alarm. Daniel 4:33 supplies another construct-form occurrence, though the translation does not isolate its contribution.

1. Visible radiance or appearance · dominant

   In Daniel 2:31, the singular construct form occurs in the vision of a great image whose brightness is extraordinary. The plural construct forms occur in Daniel 5:6, Daniel 5:9, Daniel 5:10, and Daniel 7:28, where the APB renders a changed face, countenance, or appearance amid alarm; Daniel 4:33 has another singular construct form, but its specific contribution is not isolated by the APB.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB renders the relevant visual language as “brightness” in Daniel 2:31 and as a changed “face,” “countenance,” or “appearance” in Daniel 5:6, Daniel 5:9, Daniel 5:10, and Daniel 7:28. Daniel 4:33 does not make the term's specific English rendering clear.
