This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the Aramaic word עֲנַף, highlighting its significance in biblical literature and its metaphorical implications in the context of growth and influence.

Usage: The term עֲנַף is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament to denote a small branch or twig, often symbolizing growth or extension.

Context: The Aramaic word עֲנַף (anaph) appears in the context of the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Daniel, which contains sections written in Aramaic. The term is used to describe a twig or branch, often in a metaphorical sense to convey ideas of growth, extension, or the spreading of influence. In Daniel 4:11 (BSB), the word is used in the description of Nebuchadnezzar's dream of a great tree: "The tree grew large and strong; its top reached the sky, and it was visible to the ends of the earth." Here, the tree's branches (עֲנַף) symbolize the expansive reach and influence of Nebuchadnezzar's kingdom. The imagery of a tree with spreading branches is a common biblical motif, representing prosperity, shelter, and dominion.
