Strong's Lexicon daag: To be anxious, to fear, to worry Original Word: דָּאַג Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: da'ag Pronunciation: dah-ahg Phonetic Spelling: (daw-ag') Definition: be anxious Meaning: To be anxious, to be concerned, to fear Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2125 (εὐοδόω, euodóō): To prosper, to succeed • G3056 (λόγος, lógos): Word, reason, account • G3309 (μεριμνάω, merimnáō): To be anxious, to care for • G5399 (φοβέω, phobéō): To fear, to be afraid • G5431 (φοβέομαι, phobéomai): To fear, to be frightened These Greek entries provide a broader understanding of the concept of anxiety and fear as it is expressed in the New Testament, offering a parallel to the Hebrew understanding of דָּאַג. The New Testament often addresses anxiety in the context of faith and trust in God, encouraging believers to cast their cares upon Him. Usage: The verb דָּאַג appears in the Hebrew Bible to express a state of anxiety or concern, often in the context of fear or worry about future events or the well-being of others. Context: The Hebrew verb דָּאַג (da'ag) is used in the Old Testament to convey a sense of anxiety or concern. It is a primitive root that appears in various contexts, often reflecting a deep emotional state of worry or fear. This term is used in passages where individuals express concern for their own safety, the safety of others, or the outcome of certain events. For example, in 1 Samuel 9:5, Saul expresses concern for his father's anxiety over his prolonged absence: "When they reached the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant who was with him, 'Come, let us return, or my father will stop worrying about the donkeys and start worrying about us.'" (BSB) In Jeremiah 17:8, the term is used metaphorically to describe a tree that does not worry in times of drought: "He will be like a tree planted by the waters that sends out its roots toward the stream. It does not fear when the heat comes, and its leaves are always green. It does not worry in a year of drought, nor does it cease to produce fruit." (BSB) The use of דָּאַג in these contexts highlights the human tendency to be anxious about uncertain outcomes and the well-being of loved ones. It underscores the biblical theme of trusting in God's provision and care, even amidst circumstances that naturally provoke anxiety.
