It appears in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, specifically in the Book of Daniel. The word conveys the idea of measuring or evaluating something, often with a sense of divine judgment or assessment.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, counting and numbering were significant for administrative and religious purposes. The act of numbering could imply authority and control, as well as the ability to assess and judge. In the biblical narrative, the use of "mena" in Daniel 5 is particularly noteworthy, as it is part of the mysterious writing on the wall during King Belshazzar's feast, interpreted by Daniel as a divine message of judgment.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/4487.htm">manah</a><br><span
