Strong's Lexicon davah: To be unwell, to languish, to be sick Original Word: דָּוָה Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: davah Pronunciation: dah-VAH Phonetic Spelling: (daw-vaw') Definition: To be unwell, to languish, to be sick Meaning: to be sick Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "davah," the concept of languishing or being unwell can be related to Greek terms such as "ἀσθενέω" (astheneō - to be weak, sick) found in Strong's Greek #770. Usage: The Hebrew verb "davah" primarily conveys a state of being unwell or experiencing physical or emotional distress. It is often used to describe a condition of languishing or suffering, whether due to illness, grief, or other forms of affliction. The term can also imply a sense of weakness or depletion of strength. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, health and wellness were closely tied to one's spiritual and communal standing. Illness was often seen as a sign of divine displeasure or a consequence of sin. The concept of being "davah" would have carried significant weight, as it not only affected the individual's physical state but also their ability to participate in religious and social activities. The community played a crucial role in caring for the sick, and rituals of purification were important for restoring both physical and spiritual health.
