to give: to hand something over to another, whether as a gift granted, a charge delivered into someone's power, a foundation laid, or a payment made
This is the ordinary Aramaic word for giving, and it stretches across the whole idea of handing something over. In the Aramaic chapters of Daniel and Ezra it is the word for God granting a king his throne, for a ruler handing out gifts, and for wisdom being given to those who ask for it.
The same verb reaches well beyond simple presents. To give a kingdom into someone's hand is to deliver it into their power; to give the foundations of a temple is to lay them; to give the king's revenue is to pay it out. English needs a different word for each of these, but the original uses one verb whose core is always the transfer of something from one party to another.
Many of its appearances take the form "it was given": a human heart given to a beast, dominion given to a kingdom, judgment given to God's holy people. Taken together, these verses quietly insist that thrones, empires, and even the final verdict of history are handed out by a higher hand, not seized.
