Berean Strong's Lexicon debeq: Adhesive, glue, or bond Original Word: דֶּבֶק Word Origin: From the root דָּבַק (dabaq), which means "to cling" or "to stick." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for the concept of clinging or adhering is κολλάω (kollao), Strong's Greek #2853, which also means "to glue" or "to join." Usage: The Hebrew word "debeq" refers to a substance that binds or holds things together, akin to glue or adhesive. It is used metaphorically in the Hebrew 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 covenantal relationships between individuals and between God and His people. The root word דָּבַק (dabaq) is frequently used in the context of cleaving or holding fast, which is a central theme in the covenantal language of the Old Testament.
