Sound, voice (Aramaic); used in Daniel for audible proclamations and the sound of instruments
The Aramaic noun for 'sound' or 'voice,' cognate with Hebrew qol. In Daniel it serves double duty: it denotes the sound of musical instruments that signal the moment to bow before Nebuchadnezzar's golden image (Dan 3:5, 7, 10, 15), and it refers to a spoken voice — the heavenly voice that announces judgment on Nebuchadnezzar (Dan 4:31) and the king's own voice calling out to Daniel in the lions' den (Dan 6:20). Spanish distinguishes 'sonido de' (sound of instruments) from 'voz' (spoken voice), neatly reflecting the word's dual application.
Senses
1. sound, voice — Sound or voice — the Aramaic counterpart of Hebrew qol, covering both instrumental sound and spoken voice. In Daniel 3:5, 7, 10, and 15, it appears in construct ('sound of the horn, pipe, lyre...') for the musical signal commanding worship of the golden image. In Daniel 4:31 it is the heavenly voice that falls upon Nebuchadnezzar announcing the loss of his kingdom, and in 6:20 it is the king's anxious voice calling to Daniel. Spanish helpfully distinguishes 'sonido de' for instrumental sound and 'voz' for spoken voice, though the Aramaic word covers both with a single form. 7×
