Strong's Lexicon davvag: Fisherman Original Word: דַּוָּג Word Origin: Derived from the root דָּגָה (dagah), meaning "to multiply" or "to increase," often used in the context of fish. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G231 (ἁλιεύς, halieus) - Fisherman - G232 (ἁλιεύω, halieuō) - To fish Usage: The term "davvag" refers to a fisherman, one who catches fish for a living or sustenance. In the Hebrew Bible, fishing was a common occupation, especially in regions near bodies of water like the Sea of Galilee. The term emphasizes the role of individuals who engage in the act of fishing, which was both a practical and symbolic activity in biblical times. Cultural and Historical Background: Fishing was a significant industry in ancient Israel, particularly in areas like Galilee, where the Sea of Galilee provided abundant fish. Fishermen were essential to the local economy, supplying food and trade goods. The occupation required skill and knowledge of the waters, weather patterns, and fish behavior. In biblical narratives, fishermen often symbolize provision, sustenance, and the gathering of people, as seen in the New Testament when Jesus calls His disciples to be "fishers of men."
