Strong's Lexicon dak: Thin, small, fine Original Word: דַּךְ Word Origin: From the root דָּקַק (dāqaq), which means "to crush" or "to pulverize." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2840 (katharos): Often translated as "clean" or "pure," which can relate to the idea of refinement or fineness. - G1646 (elachistos): Meaning "least" or "smallest," which can correspond to the idea of something being small or insignificant. Usage: The Hebrew word "dak" is used to describe something that is thin, fine, or small in size or texture. It often refers to physical objects that are delicate or finely ground, such as dust or fine flour. The term can also be used metaphorically to describe something that is insubstantial or insignificant. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of "thinness" or "fineness" was often associated with purity and refinement. For example, fine flour was considered a high-quality offering in the sacrificial system. The idea of something being "thin" or "fine" could also imply a sense of fragility or vulnerability, reflecting the transient nature of life and material possessions.
