Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to move rapidly. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G231: ἰχθύς (ichthys) • fish • G2486: Ἰωνᾶς (Iōnas) • Jonah, often associated with the story of the great fish • G2785: κῆτος (kētos) • a large sea creature, often translated as "whale" or "great fish" in the context of Jonah These Greek terms are used in the New Testament and the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) to convey similar meanings and themes related to fish, drawing connections between the Hebrew Scriptures and the Greek texts. Usage: The term דָּג (dag) is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to fish, both in literal and metaphorical contexts. It appears in various passages, often in relation to dietary laws, miraculous events, and symbolic imagery. Context: The Hebrew word דָּג (dag) is commonly used in the Old Testament to denote fish. It appears in several key passages, illustrating both the everyday life of ancient Israelites and significant theological themes. For instance, in Genesis 1:26, fish are part of God's creation over which humanity is given dominion: "Then God said, 'Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness, to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, and over the livestock, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it.'" (BSB). In the narrative of Jonah, fish play a pivotal role as Jonah is swallowed by a "great fish" (Jonah 1:17), symbolizing God's control over nature and His ability to deliver and discipline His prophets. The dietary laws in Leviticus 11:9-12 also mention fish, specifying which aquatic creatures are clean and permissible to eat. The term is used metaphorically in some prophetic literature to describe abundance or judgment, as seen in Ezekiel 47:9, where the abundance of fish symbolizes the life-giving waters flowing from the temple: "Wherever the river flows, there will be swarms of living creatures and a great number of fish, because this water flows there and makes the salt water fresh; so wherever the river flows, everything will flourish." (BSB).
