the appointed-time
| Root | זמן (z-m-n) |
| Core Meanings | to appoint, fix, designate, set a time, prepared occasion |
| Semantic Range | appointed time, fixed season, set occasion, specific moment, scheduled event |
| Conceptual Significance | In the Aramaic portions of Scripture (notably Daniel), this term underscores that events unfold according to divinely fixed appointments. It highlights the sovereignty of Elohim over historical moments, kingdoms, and decisive occasions. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic noun, common masculine singular, emphatic (determined) state; functions as a definite singular noun (“the …”). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root זמן, which conveys the idea of fixing or appointing a specific occasion. As a masculine singular noun in the emphatic (determined) state in Aramaic, it carries definite force, hence "the appointed-time," preserving both the root sense of appointment and the singular definite morphology. |
