Strong's Lexicon nidbak: To cling, to cleave, to stick, to adhere Original Word: נִדְבָּךְ Word Origin: From the root דבק (dabaq), meaning "to cling" or "to cleave." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2853 κολλάω (kollao): To glue, to join, to cleave - G4347 προσκολλάω (proskollao): To glue to, to adhere Usage: The Hebrew verb "nidbak" conveys the idea of adhering closely or clinging to something or someone. It is often used in the context of loyalty, devotion, or attachment, whether to people, principles, or God. The term implies a strong, unwavering bond or connection. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of clinging or cleaving was significant in relationships, particularly in familial and covenantal contexts. The idea of cleaving is famously illustrated in the context of marriage, where a man is to leave his parents and "cleave" to his wife, forming a new, inseparable union (Genesis 2:24). This cultural understanding of loyalty and commitment extends to one's relationship with God, where believers are called to cling to Him and His commandments.
