Berean Strong's Lexicon domen: Refuse, dung, filth Original Word: דֹּמֶן Word Origin: Derived from the root דָּמַם (damam), meaning "to be silent" or "to be still." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 4657 (σκύβαλον, skubalon): Often translated as "rubbish" or "dung," used in Philippians 3:8 to describe all things as loss compared to the surpassing worth of knowing Christ. Usage: The Hebrew word "domen" is used to describe refuse or waste material, often in the context of something that is considered worthless or unclean. It is a term that conveys the idea of something that is discarded or of no value, often used metaphorically to describe moral or spiritual corruption. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, cleanliness and purity were of utmost importance, both physically and spiritually. The concept of "domen" would have been understood as something that defiles or contaminates, making it unfit for use or association. This reflects the broader biblical theme of distinguishing between the holy and the profane, the clean and the unclean.
