Usage: The Hebrew verb "dalag" primarily conveys the action of leaping or skipping. It is used to describe a sudden, energetic movement, often with a sense of agility or swiftness. This term can be applied both literally, as in the physical act of leaping, and metaphorically, to describe rapid transitions or movements in various contexts. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, physical agility and strength were often admired traits, especially in the context of warfare or hunting.
