Strong's Lexicon dalleqeth: Burning, inflammation Original Word: דַּלֶּקֶת Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: dalleqeth Pronunciation: dal-leh'-keth Phonetic Spelling: (dal-lek'-keth) Definition: a burning fever Meaning: A burning fever. Word Origin: Derived from the root דָּלַק (dalak), meaning "to burn" or "to pursue." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Greek equivalent for דַּלֶּקֶת in the Strong's Concordance, related concepts of fever and burning can be found in Greek terms such as πυρετός (pyretos, Strong's Greek 4446), meaning "fever," which appears in the New Testament in contexts of healing and affliction (e.g., Matthew 8:14, Mark 1:30, Luke 4:38). These Greek terms similarly convey the idea of a consuming fever, paralleling the Hebrew concept of דַּלֶּקֶת. Usage: The term דַּלֶּקֶת is used in the context of describing a severe fever, often seen as a divine punishment or affliction. Context: • דַּלֶּקֶת (dalleqeth) appears in the Hebrew Bible in contexts that describe physical afflictions sent as a form of divine retribution. The term is specifically mentioned in Deuteronomy 28:22, where it is listed among the curses that will befall the Israelites if they disobey God's commandments. The verse reads: "The LORD will strike you with wasting disease, with fever and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought, with blight and mildew, which will plague you until you perish" (BSB). Here, דַּלֶּקֶת is translated as "fever," indicating a severe and consuming illness. The use of this term underscores the severity of the consequences of disobedience, as fever in ancient times was often a life-threatening condition without the medical interventions available today. The imagery of burning and heat associated with דַּלֶּקֶת aligns with the root meaning of "to burn," emphasizing the intense and consuming nature of the affliction.
