Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G641 (ἀπορέω, aporeō): To be at a loss, to be perplexed. • G1839 (ἐκλείπω, ekleipō): To fail, to faint, to cease. • G2352 (θροέω, throeō): To be troubled, to be frightened. • G4531 (σαλεύω, saleuō): To shake, to disturb. • G4854 (συγκακουχέομαι, sugkakoucheomai): To suffer hardship together. • G5015 (ταράσσω, tarassō): To disturb, to trouble. • G5080 (τείνω, teinō): To stretch, to extend. These Greek terms capture similar themes of emotional or physical disturbance, fear, and the loss of stability or courage, paralleling the Hebrew concept of מוּג (mug) in various contexts. Usage: The verb מוּג (mug) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the physical process of melting or dissolving, often metaphorically applied to describe the emotional state of fear or faint-heartedness. It conveys a sense of being overwhelmed or losing strength. Context: The Hebrew verb מוּג (mug) appears in various contexts within the Old Testament, often illustrating the concept of melting or dissolving, both in a literal and figurative sense. In a literal sense, it can refer to the physical process of melting, as seen in the context of wax or other substances. Figuratively, it is frequently used to describe the emotional state of individuals or groups who are overcome by fear, anxiety, or distress, leading to a loss of courage or resolve. For example, in Joshua 2:11, the inhabitants of Jericho are described as having their hearts melted in fear upon hearing of the Israelites' approach: "When we heard this, our hearts melted and everyone's courage failed because of you, for the LORD your God is God in heaven above and on the earth below." (BSB) Similarly, in Psalm 22:14, the psalmist uses the imagery of melting to express profound anguish: "I am poured out like water, and all my bones are disjointed. My heart is like wax; it has melted within me." (BSB) The term is also used in prophetic literature to describe the reaction of nations or individuals to divine judgment or overwhelming circumstances, emphasizing the loss of strength and courage in the face of God's power or impending doom.
