Strong's Lexicon abaq: Dust Original Word: אָבָק Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: abaq Pronunciation: ah-VAHK Phonetic Spelling: (aw-bawk') Definition: Dust Meaning: light particles Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to float or fly Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5522: χοῦς (chous) - dust, earth - G2868: κονιορτός (koniortos) - dust, as raised by the wind or by a crowd Usage: The Hebrew word "abaq" primarily refers to dust, often symbolizing insignificance, mortality, or the transient nature of life. It is used in various contexts, including the physical dust of the earth, the dust raised by movement, or metaphorically to describe human frailty and humility. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, dust was a common element of daily life, representing both the earth's fertility and the impermanence of human existence. Dust was often associated with mourning and repentance, as people would sit in dust or cover themselves with it to express grief or humility before God. The imagery of dust is deeply rooted in the biblical narrative, beginning with the creation of man from the dust of the ground (Genesis 2:7) and extending to the acknowledgment of human mortality (Genesis 3:19).
