Berean Strong's Lexicon daag: To be anxious, to fear, to worry Original Word: דָּאַג Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 3309 (merimnao): To be anxious, to care for - Strong's Greek 3349 (merimna): Care, anxiety Usage: The Hebrew verb "daag" primarily conveys the sense of anxiety, fear, or worry. It is used in the context of expressing concern or apprehension about potential negative outcomes or situations. The term often reflects an emotional state of unease or distress, typically due to uncertainty or perceived threats. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, as in many ancient societies, life was fraught with uncertainties, from agricultural success to threats from neighboring nations. The concept of anxiety or worry, as expressed by "daag," would have been a common human experience. The Israelites were encouraged to trust in Yahweh, their covenant God, who promised provision and protection. This trust was meant to alleviate the natural human tendency toward anxiety.
