Strong's Lexicon daveh: Faint, unwell, sick, menstruous Original Word: דָּוֶה Word Origin: From the root דָּוָה (dawah), which means to be unwell or to languish. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance that matches the specific usage of "daveh" in the Hebrew Bible. However, the concept of ritual impurity and physical weakness can be related to Greek terms dealing with sickness or impurity, such as ἀκάθαρτος (akathartos - unclean). Usage: The Hebrew word "daveh" is used to describe a state of being unwell or faint, often associated with physical weakness or sickness. In the context of the Old Testament, it is sometimes used to describe the condition of a woman during her menstrual period, indicating a state of ritual impurity according to the Levitical laws. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of ritual purity was significant, and certain natural bodily functions, such as menstruation, were considered to render a person ritually unclean. This was not a moral judgment but a ceremonial one, affecting one's ability to participate in religious activities. The laws concerning ritual purity are detailed in the book of Leviticus, reflecting the broader cultural and religious practices of the time.
