Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root דּוּד (dud), which can mean "to boil" or "to love."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents in the Strong's Concordance that correspond to the Hebrew "duday" specifically for mandrakes. However, the concept of mandrakes and their associated properties might be discussed in Greek literature under different terms related to plants or love potions. Usage: The word "duday" appears in the Hebrew Bible in contexts related to the mandrake plant. It is mentioned in the context of its use and significance in ancient Near Eastern culture, particularly in relation to fertility and love. Context: The term "duday" is most famously associated with the mandrake plant, which appears in the biblical narrative in Genesis 30:14-16. In this passage, Reuben, the son of Leah, finds mandrakes in the field and brings them to his mother. Rachel, Leah's sister, desires the mandrakes, leading to a negotiation between the two sisters. The mandrake plant, known scientifically as Mandragora officinarum, was believed to have fertility-enhancing properties and was often associated with love and desire in ancient cultures. The plant's roots, which can resemble the human form, contributed to its mystical reputation.
