Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry that relates to the concept of gathering or assembling, which can be metaphorically linked to the idea of brooding or gathering under protection, is Strong's Greek Number G4863: συνάγω (synagō). This Greek term means to gather together, to bring together, or to assemble, and is used in the New Testament to describe the act of gathering people, much like a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, as seen in passages such as Matthew 23:37. Usage: The verb דָּגַר (dāgar) is used in the context of birds brooding over their eggs or young, indicating the act of sitting on or incubating eggs to hatch them. Context: The Hebrew verb דָּגַר (dāgar) appears in the context of nurturing and caring for offspring, specifically in the avian world. This term is used to describe the natural instinct of birds to sit on their eggs, providing warmth and protection until they hatch. The imagery of brooding is often employed in the Bible to convey themes of care, protection, and the nurturing aspect of God's relationship with His people. Although the specific term דָּגַר is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, the concept it represents is echoed in various passages that highlight God's protective and nurturing nature, akin to a bird caring for its young.
