age, generation; circle of time
Daniel 1:10 contains an Aramaic noun meaning age or generation: 'the youths who are of your age.' The term relates to Arabic jīl and Samaritan Hebrew for 'generation,' and to the Talmudic phrase 'contemporary' (literally 'son of his age'). The semantic development from 'circle' to 'generation' to 'age cohort' reflects ancient Near Eastern cyclical concepts of time. This Aramaism in Daniel reflects the linguistic milieu of the Babylonian court, where multiple languages and dialects intersected.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Age or generation in Daniel 1:10, specifically the age cohort of the youths with Daniel. English 'your age,' Spanish 'vuestra edad' (your age), and French 'vague' (wave/generation) all attempt to render the temporal comparison. German preserves the Hebrew form. The context requires identifying peers of comparable age for the king's dietary comparison. The Arabic and Talmudic cognates confirm the generation/age-cohort meaning. 1×
