Strong's Lexicon dalith: Door, Doorpost Original Word: דָּלִית Word Origin: Derived from the root דָּלַל (dalal), which means "to hang" or "to be low." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for "door" is θύρα (thura), Strong's Greek #2374, which appears in the New Testament in contexts such as Jesus referring to Himself as the "door" for the sheep (John 10:7). Usage: The term "dalith" refers to a door or doorpost, often used in the context of a physical entrance to a building or tent. It can symbolize access, protection, or transition from one space to another. In biblical times, doors were significant for security and privacy, and they often held symbolic meaning in religious and cultural practices. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, doors were typically made of wood and were an essential part of a household's structure. They provided security against intruders and wild animals. The doorpost was also significant in the Passover narrative, where the Israelites marked their doorposts with lamb's blood as a sign for the angel of death to pass over their homes (Exodus 12:7). This act symbolized protection and deliverance. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom dalah Definition a branch, bough NASB Translation branches (8).
