Negad (נְגַד, H5047) is an Aramaic verb meaning to flow out, to stream forth, to issue, to pour. It appears in Daniel 7:10 — 'A river of fire was flowing (negad), coming out from before him.' Related to the Hebrew nagal and the concept of flowing water or liquid pouring forth. The word captures the image of something issuing forth unstoppably — a river, a stream, a torrent flowing from the divine presence.
Daniel 7:10 is one of the most awesome visions of divine glory in all of Scripture: thousands upon thousands attending God's throne, ten thousand times ten thousand standing before Him, and a river of fire flowing out from before Him. This river-of-fire imagery combines two of Scripture's most powerful divine symbols: fire (holiness, judgment, purification — Exodus 24:17; Hebrews 12:29) and flowing water (life, Spirit, renewal — Ezekiel 47; Revelation 22:1). The negad of divine fire-river is simultaneously judgment and life. John's Apocalypse draws on this directly in Revelation 22:1 — 'the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God.' The flow of God's presence is unceasing, unstoppable, and transforming: those in its path are either purified or consumed, depending on their posture before the King.
