An Aramaic preposition meaning 'in front of,' 'facing,' or 'toward,' equivalent to Biblical Hebrew נֶגֶד. Daniel 6:10 describes Daniel's prayer posture: his windows were open 'toward Jerusalem.' The preposition indicates directional orientation—not merely facing but positioned with intentionality toward a specific reference point. This simple spatial term carries theological weight in Daniel's story, as praying toward the destroyed temple represents covenantal faithfulness despite exile. The preposition makes geography a statement of religious identity.
