H6878 H6878
need, requirement, necessity
This Aramaic noun means need or requirement. It appears only in 2 Chronicles 2:16 (2:15 in English) where Hiram of Tyre responds to Solomon's request for timber, promising to supply wood 'according to all your need.' The term emphasizes adequacy and completeness—Hiram would provide whatever amount Solomon required, not a predetermined quantity but enough to meet the full scope of the construction project. The Aramaic vocabulary reflects the international diplomatic correspondence between these kingdoms.
