Strong's Lexicon suk: To run to and fro, to go eagerly or quickly Original Word: שׂוּךְ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of eager or swift movement can be found in Greek words like "τρέχω" (trecho - Strong's Greek 5143), which means "to run." Usage: The Hebrew verb "suk" conveys the idea of moving swiftly or eagerly, often in the context of bustling activity or hurried movement. It can imply a sense of urgency or fervor in the action being described. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, bustling activity was common in marketplaces and city gates, where people would move quickly to conduct business or gather information. The verb "suk" captures this dynamic movement, reflecting the lively and often chaotic nature of communal life in ancient Israel. Such movement was not only physical but also metaphorical, representing the eagerness or zeal with which individuals pursued their goals or duties.
