I was established, restored (Aramaic Hophal: brought back into proper order or position)
This Aramaic verb in the Hophal stem appears in Daniel 4:36 (English 4:33), where Nebuchadnezzar testifies that after his period of insanity and humiliation, 'I was established' over his kingdom again. The root תקן means 'to be in order' or 'to arrange,' and in the passive Hophal it indicates being set right, restored, or re-established. The context is one of restoration after divine judgment: Nebuchadnezzar's reason returns, and he is reinstated to his throne. The verb conveys both mental restoration (sanity) and political restoration (kingship).
Senses
1. sense 1 — Aramaic Hophal form meaning 'I was established' or 'I was restored,' denoting restoration to proper order and position. In Daniel 4:36, Nebuchadnezzar describes his return to sanity and reinstatement to the throne after a period of madness. The Hophal passive emphasizes divine agency: God restored him, set him in order again. The root תקן conveys arranging, ordering, and establishing, so the verb indicates being brought back into rightful place. Spanish 'fui restablecido' (I was restored) and French 'établir' (to establish) both capture the sense of reinstatement and restoration to proper function. 1×
