bottom (Aramaic term for the lowest part or base, from root meaning "earth")
This Aramaic word describes the bottom of the lions' den into which Daniel's accusers were thrown. The term derives from roots associated with earth and lower regions, cognate with Aramaic words for ground. Daniel's miraculous preservation contrasts sharply with the immediate destruction of those who plotted against him when cast into the same pit.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Designation for the bottom or lowest part of a structure. In Daniel 6:24, it specifies where the conspirators landed when hurled into the den—before they even reached the floor, lions overpowered them. Spanish and English translations render this as "bottom" or "fondo," capturing the spatial reference to the pit's lowest point. 1×
