Footnotes

Dan. 2:48

רברב (ravrav) functions similarly to saying "great-great" or "very great." The duplication of the root "רַב" (which means "great" or "many") intensifies the meaning, so רַבְרַב can be understood as "very great" or "exceedingly numerous." As a duplication, it would speak to that which spans both sides, the left and right of the whole.
