The meaning of 'Enosh'
Question
Daniel 7:13 son of man.
Man used here is not Adam or geber but Anosh/enash ( from Enoch -frail weak definition - is the root word anoch/enash another word …. Why ?
Answer
Thank you for your question,
in biblical Hebrew ‘Enosh’ is not used as a description of weakness (not to get
mixed up with modern-day Ivrit that ‘anush’ means critical condition), the word
‘Enosh’ is a name of man, not a description.
The root of the word is from
Genesis chapter 4 verse 26.
