Strong's Lexicon mug: To melt, dissolve, faint, waste away Original Word: מוּג Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: muwg Pronunciation: moog Phonetic Spelling: (moog) Definition: To melt, dissolve, faint, waste away Meaning: to melt Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1590 ἐκλύω (ekluo) - to loose, to release, to faint - G2576 κατέχω (katecho) - to hold fast, to retain, to restrain Usage: The Hebrew verb "mug" primarily conveys the idea of melting or dissolving, often used metaphorically to describe the weakening or fainting of one's heart or spirit. It can imply a physical or emotional state of being overwhelmed, faint, or losing strength. In the context of Scripture, it often describes the reaction of individuals or nations in the face of fear, judgment, or divine intervention. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the heart was considered the center of emotion and will. The imagery of the heart "melting" or "fainting" would have been a powerful metaphor for fear, despair, or overwhelming emotion. This concept is often used in the context of warfare or divine judgment, where the strength and resolve of individuals or nations are tested.
