Strong's Lexicon dag: Fish Original Word: דָּג Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to move rapidly Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2486 (ἰχθύς, ichthys): The Greek equivalent for "fish," used in the New Testament, notably in the feeding of the 5,000 and as a symbol for Christ. Usage: The Hebrew word "dag" refers to fish, a common aquatic creature. In the biblical context, it is used to describe both individual fish and fish collectively. The term is often associated with sustenance, abundance, and divine provision, as fish were a staple in the diet of ancient Near Eastern cultures. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, fish were a significant part of the diet, especially for those living near the Sea of Galilee and the Mediterranean coast. Fishing was a common occupation, and fish were often traded in markets. The Israelites were familiar with various fishing techniques, including nets and hooks. Fish also held symbolic meaning, representing God's provision and blessing, as seen in the miraculous feeding stories in the New Testament.
