Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: A primitive root

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1572 (ekleipo): To fail, to faint, to cease
• G1921 (epiginosko): To know, to recognize, to perceive
• G4570 (sepo): To cause to rot, to decay

These Greek entries provide a broader understanding of the concept of cessation or decline, paralleling the Hebrew idea of being extinguished or dried up. The Greek terms emphasize the aspects of failing, recognizing the end, and the process of decay, which align with the Hebrew understanding of דָּעַךְ as a termination or expiration of life or vitality.

Usage: The verb דָּעַךְ (da'ak) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the action of being extinguished or going out, often in the context of a flame or light. It can also refer to the concept of expiring or drying up, indicating a cessation of life or vitality.

Context: The Hebrew verb דָּעַךְ (da'ak) appears in the Old Testament to convey the idea of something being extinguished or coming to an end. This term is often used metaphorically to describe the fading or dying out of life, hope, or strength. In the Berean Standard Bible, the usage of דָּעַךְ can be seen in contexts where the imagery of a flame going out is employed to illustrate the cessation of life or the end of a particular state of being.

For example, in Job 6:17, the term is used to describe the drying up of streams, symbolizing the loss of hope or vitality: "In the dry season, they vanish; when it is hot, they disappear from their place." This imagery effectively communicates the transient nature of life and the inevitability of decline or cessation.

The concept of being extinguished is also found in other biblical passages where the imagery of a lamp or flame is used to represent life or presence. The extinguishing of a flame signifies the end of life or the removal of divine presence or favor.
