Berean Strong's Lexicon muq: To decay, to waste away, to pine Original Word: מוּק Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "muq," related concepts can be found in Greek words such as φθορά (phthora - Strong's Greek 5356), which means corruption or decay, and μαραίνω (maraino - Strong's Greek 3133), meaning to wither or waste away. Usage: The Hebrew verb "muq" primarily conveys the idea of decay or wasting away. It is often used in contexts that describe physical deterioration or a state of languishing. The term can be applied to both literal and metaphorical situations, such as the physical decay of a body or the spiritual and emotional wasting away of a person or community. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, physical health and vitality were often seen as blessings from God, while decay and wasting away were sometimes viewed as signs of divine displeasure or judgment. The concept of decay was also significant in the context of ritual purity laws, where contact with decaying matter could render a person ceremonially unclean. Understanding the cultural implications of decay helps to illuminate the spiritual lessons conveyed in the biblical texts.
