These Greek terms share a similar semantic field with דָּקַק, emphasizing the act of breaking or crushing, often in a context of judgment or divine intervention.

Usage: This verb is used in the context of breaking down or reducing something to smaller pieces, often implying destruction or pulverization.

Context: • The Aramaic verb דָּקַק (daqaq) appears in the context of the Old Testament, particularly in the Aramaic sections of the Book of Daniel. It conveys the action of crushing or crumbling, often used metaphorically to describe the destruction or defeat of kingdoms or powers.
• In Daniel 2:34-35, the term is used to describe the action of a stone that strikes and crushes the statue representing various kingdoms: "While you were watching, a stone was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay, and crushed them. Then the iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold were shattered and became like chaff on the threshing floor in summer; the wind carried them away, and not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth."
• The imagery of crushing in this passage symbolizes the ultimate triumph of God's kingdom over earthly powers, emphasizing the transient nature of human empires compared to the eternal dominion of God.
