to build: to put up a physical structure such as a temple, house, or city
This is the ordinary Aramaic word for building something out of stone and timber. It shows up only in the Aramaic portions of Ezra and Daniel, and nearly every use belongs to a single story: the effort to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem after the exile. Officials write to the Persian king to report the work, the king's decree authorizes it, and the returned exiles carry it out. The one occurrence outside that story is King Nebuchadnezzar's proud boast that he built the great city of Babylon as his royal seat.
Whatever is being built, the sense holds steady: raising an actual structure. The object may be a house of worship, a city, or a wall, but the verb itself simply means to construct. It can point to the act of building, to a structure in the middle of going up, or to one that gets built, yet the core idea never shifts away from physical construction.
It is the Aramaic twin of the common Hebrew verb for building, בנה, and often stands right beside the Aramaic word for finishing a structure, כלל, as a project moves from foundation to completed walls.
