Strong's Lexicon dig: Fishing, fishery Original Word: דִּיג Word Origin: Derived from the root דָּגָה (dāgāh), which means "to fish" or "to catch fish." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with fishing is ἁλιεύς (halieus), Strong's Greek #231, meaning "fisherman." Usage: The Hebrew word "דִּיג" (dig) refers to the act of fishing or the practice of catching fish. It is used in the context of describing the occupation or activity of fishing, which was a common livelihood in ancient Israel, particularly in regions near bodies of water such as the Sea of Galilee. Cultural and Historical Background: Fishing was a significant occupation in ancient Israel, especially for those living near the Mediterranean Sea, the Sea of Galilee, and the Jordan River. Fish was a staple in the diet, and fishing was both a commercial and subsistence activity. Fishermen used various methods, including nets and hooks, to catch fish. The practice of fishing is often used metaphorically in the Bible to describe the gathering of people, as seen in the calling of the disciples to be "fishers of men" (Matthew 4:19).
