Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root דָּכַךְ (dakhakh), which means to crush or to bruise.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3993 (pēnēs): Refers to one who is poor or needy, often used in the context of humility or lowliness.
• G5011 (tapeinos): Means lowly or humble, often used to describe a state of humility or modesty.
• G5013 (tapeinoō): To make low, to humble, or to bring low, often used in the context of humbling oneself or being humbled by circumstances.

These Greek terms correspond to the Hebrew concept of דַּךְ, emphasizing themes of humility, lowliness, and the spiritual state of being crushed or contrite.

Usage: The word "dakh" appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe individuals who are in a state of affliction or humility. It is often used in contexts that emphasize the spiritual or emotional condition of being crushed or broken-hearted.

Context: • The term דַּךְ (dakh) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a state of being that is both physical and metaphorical. It is often associated with those who are oppressed or in a state of deep humility. The word appears in contexts that highlight the human experience of suffering and the resulting contrition or humility before God.
• In the Psalms, דַּךְ is used to describe the broken-hearted, emphasizing the spiritual state of those who are crushed in spirit. For example, Psalm 34:18 (BSB) states, "The LORD is near to the brokenhearted; He saves the contrite in spirit." Here, the term underscores the closeness of God to those who are humble and contrite.
• The concept of being "crushed" is not only a physical description but also a spiritual metaphor for repentance and humility. It reflects the biblical theme that God is attentive to the humble and those who recognize their need for His mercy and grace.
