Strong's Lexicon dagan: Grain, Corn Original Word: דָּגָן Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to increase Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4621 σῖτος (sitos) - grain, wheat - G2570 καλός (kalos) - good, beautiful (in context of good produce) Usage: The Hebrew word "dagan" primarily refers to grain or corn, which is a staple food and a symbol of sustenance and provision in the Bible. It is often used to denote the produce of the land, particularly the cereal crops that were essential for daily life in ancient Israel. The term is frequently associated with God's blessing and abundance, as well as the agricultural cycles that were central to Israelite society. Cultural and Historical Background: In the agrarian society of ancient Israel, grain was a fundamental part of the diet and economy. It was used to make bread, a staple food, and was also a key element in offerings and sacrifices. The harvest of grain was a significant event, marked by festivals such as the Feast of Weeks (Shavuot), which celebrated the firstfruits of the wheat harvest. The abundance of grain was seen as a sign of God's favor, while a lack of it was often viewed as a consequence of disobedience or divine judgment.
