This Aramaic verb in the Ithpael (reflexive) stem means to be distressed or troubled, appearing in Daniel 7:15 where Daniel describes his reaction to his visions. He says, 'My spirit was distressed within its sheath,' a vivid image of inner turmoil—the spirit troubled within the body that contains it. The verb conveys deep emotional and psychological disturbance, not merely mild concern but substantial inner upheaval. The Aramaic vocabulary here reflects Daniel's court setting, where Aramaic was the administrative language, and the word choice emphasizes the visceral, embodied nature of his distress.
