Strong's Lexicon dikrown: Thorn, prickle Original Word: דִּכְרוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root דָּקַר (dakar), meaning "to pierce" or "to stab." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of thorns is "ἀκάνθινος" (akanthinos), which appears in the New Testament, particularly in the context of the crown of thorns. Usage: The term "dikrown" refers to a thorn or prickle, often used metaphorically in the Hebrew Bible to describe something that causes pain, irritation, or difficulty. It can symbolize obstacles or challenges that one must overcome. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, thorns were a common part of the landscape, often found in the wilderness and fields. They were considered nuisances that could damage crops and cause physical harm. Thorns are frequently used in biblical literature as symbols of sin, suffering, and divine judgment. The imagery of thorns would have been familiar to an agrarian society, serving as a powerful metaphor for the consequences of disobedience and the trials of life.
