Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Aramaic; a root wordCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance that matches the specific Aramaic verb דְּלַק. However, Greek words related to burning or fire, such as πυρόω (pyroō • to burn) or φλόξ (phlox • flame), may convey similar concepts in the New Testament context. Usage: This Aramaic verb is used in the context of burning or flaming, often metaphorically to describe pursuit or intense action. Context: The Aramaic verb דְּלַק (delak) appears in the context of the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Daniel. It is used to describe the act of burning or flaming, which can be understood both literally and metaphorically. In Daniel 3:22, the word is used to describe the intense heat of the furnace into which Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were thrown: "The king’s command was so urgent and the furnace so hot that the flames of the fire killed the soldiers who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego." Here, דְּלַק conveys the literal burning flames that consumed the soldiers. The term can also imply a sense of pursuit, as flames relentlessly consume what is in their path, symbolizing an unstoppable force or fervent action.
