Aramaic verb: to show or make visible; also to declare or announce verbally
An Aramaic verb found exclusively in Daniel, used in both Pa'el and Haph'el stems to describe acts of revealing hidden knowledge. It appears most urgently in the dream-interpretation crisis of Daniel 2, where the king demands his wise men 'show' him both the dream and its meaning. The word encompasses both visual demonstration and verbal declaration, though context and stem distinguish these nuances. Its cognates in Syriac and Biblical Hebrew (III חָוָה) confirm a root meaning of making something evident or known.
Senses
1. show, display — To show, display, or make visibly evident to someone, often with a direct object indicating what is revealed and an indirect object indicating the recipient. Spanish 'mostrar' and German 'zeigen' both emphasize the demonstrative, visual quality. This sense dominates in Daniel 2, where the urgency centers on showing the king his own dream (Dan 2:4, 6, 7, 9) -- the wise men must not merely tell but produce or display the content. Daniel's confidence that God will 'show' him the mystery (Dan 2:16, 24) carries this same demonstrative force. 10×

2. declare, proclaim — To declare, proclaim, or make known through verbal announcement, emphasizing the communicative act over visual demonstration. Spanish shifts from 'mostrar' to 'declarar,' and French uses 'montrer' in a more formal proclamatory sense. Nebuchadnezzar's decree to 'declare' the signs and wonders God has done (Dan 4:2) and the queen's recommendation that Daniel can 'declare' interpretations (Dan 5:12, 15) both highlight spoken proclamation rather than showing. This sense appears in later chapters where revelation has moved from crisis to testimony. 4×
