אול H0852
signs, wonders, or omens (Aramaic); miraculous indicators of divine action
An Aramaic word for signs or wonders, appearing exclusively in Daniel's Aramaic sections. Nebuchadnezzar and Darius speak of the signs and wonders that the Most High God performs. The term overlaps semantically with Hebrew 'ot but appears in contexts of royal proclamation, where pagan kings acknowledge God's miraculous interventions. The multilingual evidence (Spanish señales, French signs) confirms the basic meaning of visible indicators or supernatural demonstrations.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Miraculous signs or wonders performed by God, testified to by Gentile kings. Nebuchadnezzar declares 'how great are His signs!' (Daniel 4:2-3), and Darius proclaims that God 'works signs and wonders' (Daniel 6:27). The Aramaic term appears in royal edicts acknowledging divine power, suggesting public, undeniable manifestations that compel even pagan rulers to recognize Israel's God. 3×
