H2818a H2818a
to need, require; used of lacking necessity or compulsion to act
This rare Aramaic verb appears in Daniel 3:16, where Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego tell Nebuchadnezzar they 'have no need' to answer his ultimatum. The verb conveys lacking necessity or being under no obligation. Cognates in Syriac and Assyrian confirm the sense of craving or needing. The multilingual glosses capture both the idea of necessity and the bold assertion of independence from royal pressure.

1. sense 1 — In its single occurrence, the three young men use this verb to express their freedom from compulsion to defend themselves. They do not 'need' to answer because their loyalty to God is non-negotiable. The Aramaic participle form appears in a context of faithful defiance, where the protagonists reject the king's authority over their conscience. Spanish 'necesitamos' and French 'avoir-besoin' both preserve the root sense of necessity. 1×
