Chasan (H2631) is the Aramaic equivalent of Hebrew yarash — to take possession, to inherit, to occupy. It appears 3 times in the Aramaic sections of Daniel (7:18, 22, 27). It describes the act of the saints receiving and possessing the eternal kingdom.
In Daniel 7, the climax of the apocalyptic vision is the declaration that 'the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom and will possess it forever — yes, for ever and ever' (v.18). Chasan is the word of ultimate inheritance — the saints do not merely visit the kingdom; they possess it permanently. This Aramaic term bridges OT land-theology (possessing Canaan) to NT eschatology (inheriting the new creation).
Chasan shares semantic space with Hebrew yarash (H3423) and nachalah (inheritance). Together they form the biblical theology of inheritance — from Canaan to the eternal kingdom. The NT kleronomeo (G2816, to inherit) carries this forward. The saints' possession of the kingdom is both present (already reigning in Christ) and future (the consummated kingdom).
