Berean Strong's Lexicon dalach: To draw, to pour out, to flow Original Word: דָּלַח Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "dalach," similar concepts can be found in Greek words like "ἐκχέω" (ekcheo), meaning "to pour out," which is used in the New Testament to describe the outpouring of the Holy Spirit (e.g., Acts 2:17-18). Usage: The Hebrew verb "dalach" primarily conveys the action of drawing or pouring out, often in the context of water or liquid. It can imply a sense of flowing or streaming, suggesting movement and transfer from one place to another. This term is used to describe physical actions involving liquids, but it can also metaphorically extend to other forms of outpouring or dissemination. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, water was a precious resource, essential for survival in the arid climate of the Near East. The act of drawing water was a daily necessity, often performed by women at communal wells. This cultural context underscores the significance of "dalach" as a verb associated with life-sustaining activities. The imagery of water flowing or being poured out is also rich in symbolic meaning, often representing spiritual truths, blessings, or judgments in biblical literature.
