Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew דָּאָה (da'ah) in the Strong's Concordance. However, the concept of rapid flight or darting is captured in various Greek terms related to birds and flight, though none are directly linked to this specific Hebrew term. Usage: The term is used in the context of describing a bird of prey, specifically one that is known for its swift flight. It is often associated with the kite, a bird known for its rapid and agile movements in the air. Context: The Hebrew word דָּאָה (da'ah) is a verb that conveys the action of darting or flying rapidly. It is primarily used in the context of avian creatures, particularly birds of prey that exhibit swift and agile flight. In the Old Testament, this term is used to describe the kite, a bird known for its keen eyesight and rapid movements. The kite is mentioned in the context of unclean birds in the dietary laws given to the Israelites. In Leviticus 11:14 and Deuteronomy 14:13, the kite is listed among the birds that are not to be eaten, highlighting its role in the ecosystem as a predator and scavenger. The rapid flight of the kite is emblematic of its ability to swiftly capture prey, making it a symbol of agility and precision in the natural world.
