Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be sticky.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew word דַּבֶּשֶׁת, as the concept of a camel's hump is specific to the Hebrew context and does not have a direct equivalent in the Greek lexicon of the New Testament. Usage: The term דַּבֶּשֶׁת is used in the context of describing the physical characteristic of a camel, particularly its hump, which is a distinctive feature of the animal. Context: The Hebrew word דַּבֶּשֶׁת (dabbeshet) appears in the Old Testament to describe the hump of a camel. This term is derived from an unused root that conveys the idea of being sticky, which may metaphorically relate to the appearance or texture of the camel's hump. The hump is a significant anatomical feature of camels, serving as a reservoir of fatty tissue that provides energy and sustenance during long journeys across arid regions. This adaptation is crucial for survival in desert environments, where food and water are scarce.
