An Aramaic verb meaning to be suitable, fitting, or appropriate. It appears in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament (Daniel and Ezra) and conveys the idea of something being proper, right, or apposite for a given situation or purpose.
Though rare, araq touches on a key biblical theme: divine ordering and fitness. In the context of Daniel, the term relates to the appropriateness of communication before kings — echoing wisdom literature's emphasis that the right word at the right time is a gift of God (Proverbs 15:23). God Himself acts with perfect fitness, and His servants are called to speak and act with wisdom and discernment.
