Berean Strong's Lexicon daqaq: To crush, pulverize, make thin, beat small Original Word: דָּקַק Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "daqaq," the concept of crushing or grinding can be found in Greek words such as "συντρίβω" (syntribo - Strong's Greek 4937), which means to crush or break in pieces. Usage: The Hebrew verb "daqaq" primarily conveys the action of crushing or pulverizing something into fine particles. It is often used in contexts where materials are ground or beaten into smaller, finer forms. This term can be applied both literally, as in the physical act of grinding, and metaphorically, to describe the process of reducing something in size or significance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, grinding and crushing were common activities, especially in the preparation of food and materials. Grains were crushed to make flour, and spices were ground to enhance flavor. The imagery of crushing or pulverizing would have been familiar to the original audience, symbolizing thoroughness and transformation. This process was often associated with purification or preparation, reflecting the broader cultural practices of the time.
