Ezra 4:10 רַבָּ֣א <the> great

and the rest of the peoples whom the great and honorable Ashurbanipal deported and settled in the cities of Samaria and elsewhere west of the Euphrates.

Ezra 5:8 רַבָּ֔א <the> great

Let it be known to the king that we went into the province of Judah, to the house of the great God. The people are rebuilding it with large stones and placing timbers in the walls. This work is being carried out diligently and is prospering in their hands.

Here: 'The great'. It most naturally describes God ('the great God'), though grammatically it could describe the house (YLT: 'the great house of God'). It is a respectful title, the kind an official might use for a recognised deity.

Ezra 5:11 רַ֔ב great

And this is the answer they returned: “We are servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are rebuilding the temple that was built many years ago, which a great king of Israel built and completed.

Daniel 2:10 רַ֣ב great

The astrologers answered the king, “No one on earth can do what the king requests! No king, however great and powerful, has ever asked anything like this of any magician, enchanter, or astrologer.

Daniel 2:14 רַב־ [the] chief

When Arioch, the commander of the king’s guard, went out to execute the wise men of Babylon, Daniel responded with discretion and tact.

Daniel 2:31 רַ֛ב [was] great

As you, O king, were watching, a great statue appeared. A great and dazzling statue stood before you, and its form was awesome.

Daniel 2:35 רַ֖ב great

Then the iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold were shattered and became like chaff on the threshing floor in summer. The wind carried them away, and not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that had struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

Here: 'Great, vast'. The size is in deliberate contrast with the statue, which was also 'great' (v.31).

Daniel 2:45 רַב֙ great

And just as you saw a stone being cut out of the mountain without human hands, and it shattered the iron, bronze, clay, silver, and gold, so the great God has told the king what will happen in the future. The dream is true, and its interpretation is trustworthy.”

Here: "Great." Words a Babylonian king would recognize from praise of high gods. Here they claim that rank for Daniel's God, who did what Babylon's experts could not.

Daniel 2:48 וְרַב־ and chief of

Then the king promoted Daniel and gave him many generous gifts. He made him ruler over the entire province of Babylon and chief administrator over all the wise men of Babylon.

Here: "And chief of." The third use of the "great" root. As a title, rab means the head of a group, as in rab-ṭabbāḥayyāʾ, "chief of the guard" (2:14).

Daniel 4:9 רַ֣ב [the] chief of

“O Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you and that no mystery baffles you. So explain to me the visions I saw in my dream, and their interpretation.

Here: Here it means "chief of", an official title. It matches 2:48, where Nebuchadnezzar made Daniel head over all the wise men of Babylon.

Daniel 4:30 רַבְּתָ֑א <the> great

the king exclaimed, “Is this not Babylon the Great, which I myself have built as a royal residence by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?”

Here: "The great": definite and emphatic, almost a title ("Babylon the Great"). The same root described the dream tree that "grew great" (4:11, 20) and the king himself: "you have grown great" (4:22).

Daniel 5:1 רַ֔ב great

Later, King Belshazzar held a great feast for a thousand of his nobles, and he drank wine with them.

Here: 'Great': large in scale and splendid. It sets up a wordplay with the next word, rabrĕbānîn, 'great ones,' so the line sounds like 'a great feast for his great men.'

Daniel 5:11 רַ֧ב chief of

There is a man in your kingdom who has the spirit of the holy gods in him. In the days of your father he was found to have insight, intelligence, and wisdom like that of the gods. Your father, King Nebuchadnezzar, appointed him chief of the magicians, enchanters, astrologers, and diviners. Your own father, the king,

Here: 'Chief of', 'head over': Daniel's office was head of the whole guild of court scholars (compare 2:48; 4:9).

Daniel 7:2 רַבָּֽא׃ <the> great

Daniel declared: “In my vision in the night I looked, and suddenly the four winds of heaven were churning up the great sea.
