Strong's Lexicon dasha: To sprout, to bring forth, to grow green Original Word: דָּשָׁא Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "dasha," the concept of growth and sprouting can be related to Greek terms like "phuo" (G5453), which means to bring forth or produce. Usage: The Hebrew verb "dasha" primarily means to sprout or to bring forth vegetation. It is often used in the context of plants and grass growing or sprouting from the earth. This term conveys the idea of new life and growth, emphasizing the natural process of vegetation emerging from the ground. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of daily life and survival. The sprouting of plants was not only a natural phenomenon but also a sign of divine blessing and provision. The Israelites depended on the cycles of planting and harvest, and the growth of vegetation was often seen as a direct result of God's favor and care for His people. The imagery of sprouting and growth is frequently used in the Bible to symbolize renewal, hope, and the fulfillment of God's promises.
