Strong's Lexicon davvag or diyyag: Fisherman Original Word: דַּיָּג Word Origin: Derived from the root דּוּג (dûg), meaning "to fish." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with fishermen is ἁλιεύς (halieus), Strong's Greek #231. Usage: The term "davvag" or "diyyag" refers to a fisherman, one who catches fish for a living or sustenance. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it denotes individuals who engage in fishing, a common occupation in ancient Israel due to its proximity to bodies of water like the Sea of Galilee and the Mediterranean Sea. Cultural and Historical Background: Fishing was a significant occupation in ancient Israel, especially in regions near large bodies of water. Fishermen were essential for providing food and trade goods. The practice involved various methods, including nets and hooks, and was often a communal activity. The Sea of Galilee, in particular, was a hub for fishing, and many of Jesus' disciples were fishermen by trade. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom dag, see davvag.
