Strong's Lexicon delaq: To burn, to pursue, to chase Original Word: דְּלַק Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "delaq," the concept of burning or pursuing can be related to Greek words like διώκω (dioko - to pursue) and καίω (kaio - to burn). Usage: The Hebrew verb "delaq" primarily conveys the idea of burning or kindling a fire. It is also used metaphorically to describe the act of pursuing or chasing with intensity, akin to the fervor of a fire. This dual usage highlights both the literal and figurative applications of the word in the Hebrew Bible. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, fire was a central element, used for warmth, cooking, and religious sacrifices. The imagery of fire was often employed to describe passion, zeal, and divine judgment. The concept of pursuit, on the other hand, was common in the context of warfare and hunting, where relentless pursuit was necessary for victory or survival.
