However, the concept of plants with supposed aphrodisiac properties can be related to Greek terms for herbs and spices used in similar contexts.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "duday" refers to the mandrake plant, known for its fragrant smell and its association with fertility and love in ancient cultures. In the Bible, it is mentioned in contexts that suggest its use as an aphrodisiac or fertility aid.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, mandrakes were highly valued for their supposed medicinal and magical properties. The plant's root often resembles a human figure, which contributed to its mystical reputation. It was believed to enhance fertility and was used in love potions. The mandrake's significance in biblical times reflects these cultural beliefs.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/1730.htm">dod</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>mandrake<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>mandrakes (6).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">דּוּדַי</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Genesis 30:14</sup> <font size="+1"><b>mandrake</b></font> (as love-producing, compare Di <a href="/interlinear/genesis/30-14.htm">Genesis 30:14</a>) — plural <font class="hebrew2">דּוּדָאִים</font> (compare Ew<sup>189g Sta§§ 301. 122</sup>) <a href="/interlinear/genesis/30-14.htm">Genesis 30:14</a>; Cant 7:14; construct <font class="hebrew2">דּוּדָאֵי</font> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/30-14.htm">Genesis 30:14</a> 3t.; — <em>mandrakes</em>, as exciting sexual desire, and favouring procreation <a href="/interlinear/genesis/30-14.htm">Genesis 30:14</a> (twice in verse); <a href="/interlinear/genesis/30-15.htm">Genesis 30:15</a> (twice in verse); <a href="/interlinear/genesis/30-16.htm">Genesis 30:16</a> (J); also Cant 7:14 where odour referred to.
