Senses in use

  1. The exalted figure named with the holy ones · dominant

    In Daniel 7:18 and Daniel 7:22, the form occurs with the holy ones as they receive judgment and take possession of the kingdom. In Daniel 7:25, words are spoken against this figure while the holy ones are worn down; in Daniel 7:27, the holy ones are connected with a kingdom that all dominions serve and obey.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “the Most High” in each supplied verse, both in phrases concerning the holy ones and in the statement that words are spoken against him. This repeated English wording confirms the verse-level presentation rather than a precise lexical mapping.
