Strong's Lexicon Dabbesheth: Hump, back Original Word: דַּבֶּשֶׁת Word Origin: Derived from the root דָּבַשׁ (dābash), meaning "to be sticky" or "to flow." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Dabbesheth" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the concept is specific to Hebrew culture and language. However, camels are mentioned in the New Testament, such as in Matthew 19:24, where the Greek word κάμηλος (kamēlos) is used. Usage: The term "Dabbesheth" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the "hump" or "back" of an animal, particularly a camel. It signifies the prominent, raised part of the animal's back, which is a distinctive feature of camels, known for storing fat and water, enabling them to survive in arid environments. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, camels were vital for trade and transportation across deserts. Their humps were not only a physical characteristic but also a symbol of endurance and survival. The ability of camels to travel long distances without water made them indispensable in the trade routes that connected various civilizations. The mention of "Dabbesheth" in the Bible reflects the familiarity of the biblical authors with these animals and their significance in daily life and commerce.
