Usage: The verb דָּבַק (dāḇaq) is used in various contexts in the Hebrew Bible to describe the act of clinging or adhering closely to something or someone. It can imply physical attachment, loyalty, or pursuit. Context: The Hebrew verb דָּבַק (dāḇaq) appears in several contexts throughout the Old Testament, illustrating both physical and metaphorical forms of attachment. It is often used to describe a close, persistent, or loyal adherence to a person, object, or principle. • Physical Clinging: In Genesis 2:24, the term is used to describe the union between a man and his wife: "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh." Here, דָּבַק conveys the idea of a deep, inseparable bond. • Loyalty and Devotion: In Deuteronomy 10:20, the word is used to express loyalty to God: "Fear the LORD your God and serve Him. Hold fast to Him and take your oaths in His name." This usage emphasizes a steadfast commitment and devotion to God. • Pursuit and Capture: In 1 Samuel 31:2, the term is used in the context of pursuit: "The Philistines pursued Saul and his sons, and they killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua." Here, דָּבַק implies a relentless pursuit leading to capture or overtaking. • Metaphorical Clinging: In Psalm 63:8, the psalmist uses the term to describe a spiritual longing: "My soul clings to You; Your right hand upholds me." This reflects a deep spiritual attachment and reliance on God. The verb דָּבַק is versatile, capturing the essence of attachment, whether in relationships, spiritual devotion, or the pursuit of goals. It underscores the importance of commitment and the strength of bonds, whether human or divine.
