Strong's Lexicon daka: To crush, to break, to contrite Original Word: דָּכָא Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: daka' Pronunciation: dah-KAH Phonetic Spelling: (daw-kaw') Definition: To crush, to break, to contrite Meaning: to crumble, to bruise Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4937 (συντρίβω, syntribo): To crush, to break in pieces - G2588 (καρδία, kardia): Heart, often used in the context of a contrite heart Usage: The Hebrew verb "daka" primarily conveys the idea of crushing or breaking something into pieces. It is often used metaphorically to describe a state of being broken in spirit or contrite in heart. This term is frequently associated with humility, repentance, and the acknowledgment of one's own sinfulness before God. In the context of the Old Testament, "daka" emphasizes the importance of a contrite heart as a prerequisite for receiving God's mercy and forgiveness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, physical acts of crushing or breaking were common in daily life, such as grinding grain or crushing olives for oil. These physical actions provided a vivid metaphor for spiritual brokenness and humility. The concept of a contrite heart was central to the Hebrew understanding of repentance and was often contrasted with pride and self-reliance. The sacrificial system of the Old Testament also underscored the need for inner contrition, as external rituals were insufficient without genuine repentance.
