Strong's Lexicon dachah: To push, thrust, drive away, cast down Original Word: דָּחָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G906 (βάλλω, ballō) - to throw or cast - G1544 (ἐκβάλλω, ekballō) - to cast out, drive out Usage: The Hebrew verb "dachah" primarily conveys the action of pushing or thrusting something or someone away. It can imply a physical action of casting down or a metaphorical sense of rejection or exclusion. The term is often used in contexts where individuals or groups are driven away or cast down, either by divine judgment or human action. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of being "cast down" or "driven away" carried significant weight, often associated with divine displeasure or social ostracism. The Israelites understood their covenant relationship with God as one that required obedience and faithfulness. Being "dachah" could symbolize a breach in this relationship, leading to exile or separation from the community. This term reflects the broader Ancient Near Eastern understanding of divine retribution and social cohesion.
