Strong's Lexicon dabbesheth: Hump, protuberance Original Word: דַּבֶּשֶׁת Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be sticky Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "dabbesheth" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific term related to Hebrew cultural and zoological context. Usage: The term "dabbesheth" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a physical protrusion or hump, specifically in the context of camels. It denotes the distinctive hump of a camel, which is a notable feature of these animals. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, camels were vital for transportation and trade, especially in desert regions. The camel's hump, or "dabbesheth," is a reservoir of fatty tissue that provides energy and sustenance during long journeys across arid landscapes. This feature made camels indispensable for caravans and trade routes, such as the famous Incense Route. The hump's significance in the survival and utility of camels would have been well understood by the people of biblical times.
