Strong, mighty, powerful; used of kingdoms, fearsome beasts, and divine wonders (Aramaic)
This Aramaic adjective taqqiph describes formidable strength in Daniel and Ezra. In Daniel 2:40 and 2:42, it characterizes the iron-like kingdom in Nebuchadnezzar's dream. Daniel 7:7 applies it to the terrifying fourth beast, while Daniel 4:3 (ET 3:33) ascribes it to God's mighty wonders. Ezra 4:20 notes that Jerusalem once had 'mighty kings' who ruled beyond the river. The word always carries overtones of dominance and awe-inspiring power.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Strong, mighty, powerful—describing entities that command fear or awe. Applied to an iron-crushing kingdom (Dan 2:40, 42), a terrifying beast (Dan 7:7), divine signs (Dan 4:3), and historically dominant kings (Ezra 4:20). Spanish distinguishes 'fuerte' (strong) from 'poderosos/poderosas' (powerful/mighty), hinting at the range from raw material strength to political and divine might that this single Aramaic adjective covers. 5×
