Iqqar (H6136) appears in the Aramaic vision of Daniel 4, where Nebuchadnezzar's dream-tree is cut down but its stump (iqqar) is left in the ground, bound with iron. The stump represents remaining potential β the cut-down tree that can still sprout again.
The stump theology in the Old Testament is a theology of remnant and hope. Isaiah 6:13 speaks of a holy seed in the stump. Isaiah 11:1 β 'A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse' β uses the same imagery for the Messiah arising from a line that appears cut down. Iqqar in Daniel represents preserved life β humbled but not destroyed, waiting for God's appointed season of restoration.
