Strong's Lexicon badaq: To inspect, examine, search Original Word: בָּדק Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of examination or scrutiny can be related to Greek words such as "δοκιμάζω" (dokimazo - Strong's G1381), which means to test, prove, or examine. Usage: The Hebrew verb "badaq" primarily means to inspect or examine closely. It conveys the action of searching or scrutinizing something to determine its condition or truth. This term is often used in contexts where a thorough investigation or careful examination is required. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of inspection or examination was significant in various aspects of life, including religious, legal, and personal contexts. The act of examining was not only a physical activity but also carried a spiritual and moral dimension, reflecting the importance of discernment and truth-seeking in the community. The Hebrew culture placed a high value on purity and integrity, both in religious practices and in daily life, which often necessitated careful examination.
