Word Origin: Derived from the root דָּוָה (dawah), which means to be sick or unwell.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G131 (aischros): This Greek term means "shameful" or "disgraceful," often used in contexts of moral impurity or dishonor.
• G3600 (odunao): This Greek verb means "to suffer pain" or "to be in distress," often used to describe physical or emotional suffering.
• G3601 (odune): This Greek noun refers to "pain" or "grief," typically used to describe intense physical or emotional suffering.

These Greek terms, while not direct translations, share thematic connections with the Hebrew concept of "daveh" in terms of suffering, impurity, and distress.

Usage: The word "daveh" appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe a condition of sickness or infirmity. It is used in contexts that convey physical weakness or a state of being unwell.

Context: • The term "daveh" is used in the Hebrew Scriptures to denote a state of physical sickness or weakness. It is often associated with conditions that render an individual unwell or infirm. In the context of Levitical laws, it can refer to ceremonial impurity due to illness.
• In Leviticus 15:33, "daveh" is used to describe a woman in her menstrual impurity: "and for a woman in her menstrual impurity, and for anyone with a discharge, whether male or female, and for a man who lies with an unclean woman."
• The term is also found in Isaiah 30:22, where it metaphorically describes the state of idols: "Then you will desecrate your silver-plated idols and your gold-plated images. You will throw them away like menstrual cloths, saying to them, 'Be gone!'"
• The use of "daveh" in these contexts highlights the association of physical sickness with ritual impurity and the broader implications of being unclean in the sight of God.
