Strong's Lexicon dalal: To be low, to be brought low, to be thin, to be impoverished Original Word: דָּלַל Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of being brought low or humbled can be related to Greek terms such as ταπεινόω (tapeinoō - Strong's G5013), which means to humble or abase. Usage: The Hebrew verb "dalal" primarily conveys the idea of being brought low or becoming weak, thin, or impoverished. It is often used in contexts where individuals or groups experience a reduction in strength, status, or resources. The term can describe physical, economic, or social diminishment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, strength and prosperity were often seen as signs of divine favor, while weakness and poverty could be interpreted as a result of sin or divine judgment. The concept of being "brought low" was significant in a culture that valued honor and social standing. The Israelites were agrarian, and their dependence on the land made them acutely aware of the fragility of their prosperity, which could be affected by factors like drought, invasion, or divine displeasure.
