Strong's Lexicon donag: Wax Original Word: דּוֹנַג Word Origin: The origin of the word "donag" is uncertain, but it is a Hebrew term used in the Old Testament. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for the concept of melting or dissolving, often used in similar metaphorical contexts, can be found in Strong's Greek entries such as G5080 (tēkō), which means "to melt" or "to dissolve." Usage: The Hebrew word "donag" refers to wax, a substance that is often associated with melting or softening under heat. In biblical contexts, it is used metaphorically to describe the melting or dissolving of something, often in the presence of God's power or judgment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient times, wax was a common material used for various purposes, including sealing documents, making candles, and as a metaphor for malleability and change. The imagery of wax melting is used in the Bible to convey the idea of transformation or the overwhelming presence of God that causes even the firmest elements to yield.
