Strong's Lexicon takah: To drive, thrust, or strike Original Word: תָּכָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there may not be a direct one-to-one correspondence, Greek verbs like "βάλλω" (ballō - to throw or cast) or "ἐμβάλλω" (emballō - to thrust in) can carry similar connotations of forceful action in the Septuagint and New Testament contexts. Usage: The Hebrew verb "takah" primarily conveys the action of driving or thrusting, often with force or intensity. It can imply a physical action of striking or pushing something or someone. The term is used in contexts that suggest a forceful or decisive action, often with a connotation of impact or influence. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, verbs like "takah" were often used to describe actions in warfare, craftsmanship, or daily life that required strength and precision. The ability to drive or thrust effectively was valued in a society where manual labor and physical prowess were essential for survival and success. The term reflects the importance of decisive action in both personal and communal contexts.
