The Aramaic equivalent of Hebrew qanah, used in Ezra's account of purchasing animals for temple sacrifice. This verb appears in the section of Ezra written in Imperial Aramaic, the administrative language of the Persian Empire. King Artaxerxes instructs Ezra to use royal funds to buy whatever is needed for proper worship in Jerusalem's temple. The commercial terminology underscores how even in exile, under foreign rule, God ensured resources for faithful worship. Persian gold would purchase Hebrew sacrifices, showing God's sovereignty over empires and economies.
