Word Origin: A primitive root

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts includes "συντρίβω" (syntribo), which also means to crush or break.

Usage: The Hebrew verb "daak" primarily conveys the action of crushing or bruising. It is often used metaphorically to describe the act of oppression or the infliction of suffering. The term suggests a forceful action that results in breaking or subduing, whether physically or emotionally.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of crushing or bruising was not only physical but also symbolic of spiritual and social oppression. The agrarian society of ancient Israel would have been familiar with the physical act of crushing grains or olives, which could serve as a metaphor for the oppression of people. The imagery of crushing is also significant in the context of divine judgment and the consequences of sin.
