Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there may not be a direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of crushing or pulverizing can be related to Greek words like "συντρίβω" (syntribo - to crush, break) or "κατασυντρίβω" (katasyntribo - to shatter, crush completely).

Usage: The Hebrew verb "duq" primarily conveys the action of pounding or crushing something into fine particles. It is often used in contexts where materials are ground or pulverized, indicating a thorough and complete process of breaking down.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the process of grinding or crushing was a common activity, especially in the preparation of food and materials. Grains were often ground into flour using millstones, and spices were crushed to release their flavors. The act of pulverizing was not only practical but also symbolic, representing thoroughness and transformation.
