It is used metaphorically in the Bible to describe a strong bond or attachment, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of binding or clinging was significant in both physical and relational contexts. The idea of adhering or sticking was often used to describe loyalty, commitment, and the inseparable nature of certain relationships, such as marriage or covenantal bonds. The root דָּבַק (dabaq) is frequently used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the closeness and loyalty expected in relationships with God and among His people.
