to be wet, drenched (with dew); to soak or drench someone
An Aramaic verb occurring exclusively in Daniel 4-5, describing Nebuchadnezzar's body being drenched with the dew of heaven during his period of madness among the beasts. The Pael active form means 'to wet, drench someone,' while the Hithpaal passive means 'to be wetted.' The recurring phrase 'wet with the dew of heaven' powerfully conveys the king's total exposure to the elements as divine judgment. Spanish mojado, French tremper, and German benetzen all reflect this soaking imagery.

Senses
1. sense 1 — To be drenched or wetted, specifically with dew. All five occurrences cluster in the Nebuchadnezzar madness narrative (Dan 4:15, 23, 25, 33; 5:21), always collocated with 'dew of heaven' (tal shemayya). The multilingual glosses converge on liquid-contact vocabulary (spa 'mojado,' fra 'tremper,' deu 'benetzen'), uniformly depicting involuntary soaking as a sign of the king's degradation to beast-like existence under open sky. 5×
