Strong's Lexicon deagah: Anxiety, worry, care Original Word: דְּאָגָה Word Origin: Derived from the root דָּאַג (da'ag), which means "to be anxious" or "to worry." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with "deagah" is μεριμνάω (merimnao), which also means "to be anxious" or "to worry." This term is used in the New Testament, such as in Matthew 6:25, where Jesus instructs His followers not to worry about their lives. Usage: The Hebrew word "deagah" refers to a state of anxiety or worry. It is used in the Old Testament to describe the emotional burden or mental distress that arises from concern over potential problems or uncertainties. This term captures the human experience of being troubled or preoccupied with fears about the future or present circumstances. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, as in many ancient societies, life was fraught with uncertainties, including threats from enemies, natural disasters, and economic instability. The concept of "deagah" would have been familiar to the Israelites, who often faced situations that could lead to anxiety. The Hebrew Scriptures frequently address the human tendency to worry, encouraging trust in God's provision and sovereignty as a remedy for anxiety.
