Usage: The verb דָּכָא (dāḵāʾ) is used in the Hebrew Bible to convey the action of crushing or bruising, often in a metaphorical sense to describe oppression or affliction. It is used to depict both physical and emotional states of being broken or contrite. Context: The Hebrew verb דָּכָא (dāḵāʾ) appears in several key passages within the Old Testament, often in contexts that emphasize humility, contrition, or divine judgment. It is a term that conveys the idea of being broken down or crushed, whether physically, emotionally, or spiritually. In Isaiah 53:5, the term is used prophetically to describe the suffering servant: "But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed." Here, דָּכָא (dāḵāʾ) underscores the depth of suffering endured for the sake of others, highlighting themes of substitutionary atonement and redemption. Psalm 34:18 (BSB) states, "The LORD is near to the brokenhearted; He saves the contrite in spirit." In this verse, the term is associated with a state of humility and repentance, indicating that those who are crushed in spirit are recipients of divine compassion and salvation. The usage of דָּכָא (dāḵāʾ) in the Hebrew Bible often reflects a theological understanding that God is attentive to the plight of the oppressed and values a contrite heart. It serves as a reminder of the transformative power of suffering and the hope of restoration through divine intervention.
