summer, the hot season of the year
An Aramaic noun meaning summer, appearing in Daniel's interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's dream. Daniel 2:35 describes how the various metals and clay 'became like chaff from the summer threshing floors.' The Aramaic term parallels the Hebrew qayits. The image draws from agricultural practice: during summer harvest, grain was winnowed, producing chaff that wind scattered. This metaphor emphasizes the complete, traceless disappearance of earthly kingdoms before God's eternal reign.

1. sense 1 — Summer, specifically the harvest season when grain is threshed and winnowed. In Daniel 2:35, 'chaff from the summer threshing floors' evokes the dry, hot season when harvested grain is processed and waste material blown away. Some translations leave the Aramaic form untransliterated while others render it 'summer' (Spanish verano, French été). The seasonal reference anchors the visionary imagery in agricultural reality familiar to Daniel's audience—summer's wind carrying off worthless chaff just as God's kingdom will sweep away human empires. 1×
