Usage: The term דּוֹנַג (donag) is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to wax, specifically in the context of its melting properties. Context: • The Hebrew word דּוֹנַג (donag) appears in the Old Testament in a metaphorical context, illustrating the melting or dissolving nature of wax. This imagery is used to convey the idea of something that is transient or easily overcome by heat or pressure. In the Berean Standard Bible, this term is found in Psalm 22:14, where it describes the psalmist's heart melting like wax within him, symbolizing intense emotional or physical distress. The use of wax in this context highlights the fragility and impermanence of human strength and resolve when faced with overwhelming circumstances. The imagery of melting wax serves to emphasize the psalmist's vulnerability and the consuming nature of his suffering.
