Strong's Lexicon dobe: Pine away, languish Original Word: דֹּבֶא Word Origin: Derived from the root דָּבָה (dāvāh), which means to pine away or languish. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of languishing or wasting away can be related to Greek terms such as μαραίνω (maraino - G3133), which means to wither or fade. Usage: The Hebrew word "dobe" is used to describe a state of languishing or pining away, often in the context of physical or emotional suffering. It conveys a sense of wasting away or being in a state of decline, whether due to illness, grief, or other afflictions. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, physical and emotional states were often closely linked, with physical ailments frequently seen as manifestations of spiritual or emotional distress. The concept of "dobe" would have resonated with a people familiar with the harsh realities of life in a challenging environment, where illness and hardship were common. The term reflects a holistic understanding of human suffering, encompassing both the body and the spirit.
