Gebar is the Aramaic cognate of the Hebrew geber (H1397). It appears in the Aramaic portions of Daniel, describing human beings — particularly those encountered in royal and apocalyptic contexts. The term emphasizes masculine strength and humanity before God.
In the Aramaic sections of Daniel, gebar appears alongside visions of the divine and the cosmic. The contrast is stark: flesh-and-blood gebar trembles before God's messenger. Yet this same frail man is given divine revelation and called to interpret dreams. This tension — human weakness receiving divine empowerment — runs through Daniel and reaches its apex in Christ, who is both Son of Man (bar enash) and Son of God. The mighty gebar is nothing without the breath of God.
