and moat/trench (defensive earthwork around rebuilt Jerusalem)
This term appears in Daniel 9:25, describing Jerusalem as rebuilt 'with plaza and moat' (רְחוֹב וְחָרוּץ) during troubled times. The Aramaic noun denotes a defensive trench or moat, cognate with Assyrian ḫariṣu/ḫiriṣu. The phrase pairs public spaces (plaza/street) with defensive infrastructure (moat), painting a picture of urban restoration complete with both civilian and military features. Some interpreters read differently ('street and outside'), but the defensive reading fits Daniel's context of restoration under pressure.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Daniel's prophecy envisions Jerusalem rebuilt not just with religious structures but with complete urban infrastructure including fortifications. The moat represents defensive water systems or dry trenches that protected ancient cities from siege. The conjunction 'and' links this military feature to the civilian plaza, suggesting a city prepared both for normal life and for defense against adversaries. 1×
