might, power — divine strength and governing capacity, especially God's sovereign ability
In Daniel's Aramaic prayers, this word celebrates the might that belongs to God alone. Daniel blesses God's name because 'wisdom and might are His,' recognizing that both intellectual and physical power originate in the divine nature. The term appears in contexts of worship and thanksgiving, where Daniel acknowledges God's ability to reveal mysteries, change times and seasons, and establish kingdoms. It's the Aramaic equivalent of Hebrew words for strength, emphasizing God's effective power to accomplish His will in history.
