Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Aramaic root, related to the Hebrew כּוּל (kul), which means "to be able" or "to have power."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent of the concept of ability or power is found in Strong's Greek Number G1410, δύναμαι (dunamai), which also means "to be able" or "to have power." This Greek term is frequently used in the New Testament to express the capability or power to perform actions, often in the context of divine enablement or human ability. Usage: This Aramaic verb is used in the context of expressing ability or capability. It appears in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra. Context: The Aramaic verb כְּהַל (kehal) is primarily found in the biblical books of Daniel and Ezra, which contain significant portions of Aramaic text. In these contexts, the verb is used to denote the ability or power to perform an action. For example, in Daniel 3:29, the term is used to describe the inability of any god to deliver like the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: "Therefore I decree that the people of any nation or language who say anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be cut into pieces and their houses be turned into piles of rubble, for no other god can save in this way." (BSB). The usage of כְּהַל in these texts underscores the theme of divine power and capability, contrasting human limitations with the omnipotence of God.
