cha.shav denotes being accounted or regarded in Daniel 4:32.

The attested passive participle denotes persons being accounted or regarded, though Daniel 4:32 does not make its precise contribution to the translation fully isolable.

    In Daniel 4:32, חֲשִׁיבִ֔ין is a Qal passive participle, masculine plural absolute, in the verse describing the ruler's removal from human dwelling until he knows that the Most High rules over the kingdom of men. The APB renders the surrounding verse, "And you are driven from men, and your dwelling is with the beast of the field,", so the term's exact English equivalent is unclear.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 4:32, the APB presents the surrounding judgment and recognition of the Most High's rule, but its translation does not isolate a distinct English rendering for the term.
