petition, request; Aramaic term used in Daniel for a formal legal plea or supplication
This Aramaic word appears in the account of Daniel and the lions' den, specifically in the decree forbidding petitions to any god or man except King Darius. The term carries formal, legal weight—not a casual request but an official petition with legal standing. The cognate accusative construction ('petition a petition') intensifies the formal nature of the prohibition. This terminology reflects the Persian administrative context where Daniel served, where formal petitions and decrees governed the empire's religious and civil life.
