Usage: This term is used in the context of describing a physical or metaphorical fall, often implying a sense of being pushed away or rejected.

Context: • The Hebrew word דְּחִי (dechi) appears in the Old Testament to convey the idea of being pushed or cast down. It is often used in poetic and prophetic literature to describe the downfall or rejection of individuals or nations. The term can be understood both in a literal sense, as in a physical fall, and in a metaphorical sense, as in a spiritual or moral decline.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, the word is used to illustrate the consequences of disobedience or divine judgment, where individuals or groups experience a "fall" due to their actions or the actions of others. This concept is closely tied to the themes of divine justice and the consequences of sin.
• The root דָּחָה (dachah) is frequently associated with the idea of being thrust away from a place of favor or security, highlighting the severity of the fall or rejection experienced.
