cha.laph denotes passing in its four attested Daniel occurrences, though the translation does not isolate its contribution.

The attested material supports a single use concerning passing: the same Qal imperfect masculine-plural form occurs throughout, while the supplied APB verses do not make the term's individual contribution identifiable.

Senses in use

  1. Passing in the Daniel occurrences · dominant

    The Qal imperfect masculine-plural form occurs in Daniel 4:13, where the APB renders a vision containing “a watcher and a holy one descending from heaven,” and in Daniel 4:20, where it renders the tree's growth and height. The same form occurs in Daniel 4:22 in the description of the king's growth and dominion, and in Daniel 4:29 in the notice that he was walking on the royal palace roof; because this the verse is read as a whole, it does not isolate the term's specific English rendering in these clauses.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Daniel 4:13, Daniel 4:20, Daniel 4:22, and Daniel 4:29, the APB presents the surrounding vision, tree, king, and palace scenes without an identifiable English token for this form. Its whole-verse, whole-verse wording therefore cannot establish a more specific rendering.
