SIBI-P1 H2269-01

and his joined companions

Rootחבר (ḥ-b-r)
Core Meaningsto join, bind together, associate, unite, be in company with
Semantic Rangecompanion, associate, fellow, member of a group, ally, colleague
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical Aramaic contexts (e.g., Daniel), the term often denotes close associates bound together in shared identity or mission, highlighting covenantal or communal solidarity rather than mere casual friendship.
Morphological NotesAramaic noun חֲבַר in masculine plural construct form (Ncmpc) with 3ms pronominal suffix ("his"); prefixed with conjunction וְ ("and"). The construct form links the companions to the possessor indicated by the suffix.
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from the root חבר, meaning "to join" or "to bind together," so "joined companions" preserves the sense of those bound together in association. The form is masculine plural construct with a 3rd masculine singular suffix ("his"), accurately reflected in "his ... companions," and the prefixed conjunction וְ is rendered as "and."
