Strong's Lexicon day: Enough, sufficient, adequate Original Word: דַּי Word Origin: Derived from the root דּוּ (du), which conveys the idea of sufficiency or adequacy. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G713 (ἄρκει): To be sufficient, to be enough - G2425 (ἱκανός): Sufficient, adequate, considerable Usage: The Hebrew word "דַּי" (day) primarily denotes the concept of sufficiency or adequacy. It is used to express the idea of having enough or being sufficient in quantity or quality. This term often appears in contexts where the adequacy of resources, strength, or provision is being discussed. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of sufficiency was deeply tied to the agrarian lifestyle and the dependence on God's provision for daily needs. The Israelites were often reminded of God's sufficiency through their experiences in the wilderness, where they relied on manna and quail provided by God. The idea of "enough" was not just about material provision but also about spiritual and communal sufficiency, emphasizing trust in God's provision.
