to stand or rise, and to make something stand: to get to one's feet or come on the scene, and to set up, appoint, or firmly establish
This is the everyday Aramaic verb for standing and rising, and it is the exact twin of the common Hebrew verb of the same sound and meaning. At its core it pictures coming to an upright position, or bringing something else to that position. So one and the same word can say that a statue was standing, that a king rose from bed, that a kingdom arose in history, and that God set up an everlasting kingdom.
The range runs along a single line. When the subject stands or rises on its own, the word means to stand, to get up, or to come on the scene. When the subject makes something else stand, the same word means to set up an object, to appoint a person to office, or to put a decree into binding force. English reaches for many different words here (stand, rise, arise, set up, appoint, establish), but the Aramaic is thinking of one simple action throughout: something is made to stand, or stands.
The word carries real weight in the Aramaic chapters of Daniel, where the theme is which kingdoms will rise and who truly sets them up. Earthly kings raise idols and issue decrees they think will stand forever, while the God of heaven quietly appoints and removes rulers and finally sets up a kingdom that will never fall. The same plain verb does the light lifting and the heavy lifting.
