Strong's Lexicon doq: Thinness, thin layer, fine dust Original Word: דֹּק Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to crush or pulverize Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2863: koniortos (dust) - G5510: chion (snow, used metaphorically for something fine or light) Usage: The Hebrew word "doq" refers to something that is extremely fine or thin, often used to describe a thin layer or fine dust. It conveys the idea of something that is insubstantial or easily dispersed. In the context of the Bible, it is used to describe the thin layer of manna that appeared on the ground in the wilderness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of "doq" would have been familiar in the context of daily life, where dust and fine particles were common in the arid environment. The Israelites' experience with manna, described as a fine, flaky substance, would have been a vivid illustration of God's provision in a form that was both miraculous and humble. The thinness of manna symbolized its divine origin and the need for daily dependence on God. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom daqaq Definition a veil, curtain NASB Translation curtain (1).
