This term appears in the New Testament in contexts of tribulation and persecution.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Hebrew verb "hadak" primarily conveys the action of crushing or bruising. It is often used metaphorically to describe the act of oppression or subjugation, where one party exerts force or pressure upon another, leading to a state of being broken or subdued. This term can be applied both in physical contexts, such as the crushing of grain, and in social or spiritual contexts, where individuals or groups experience oppression.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the imagery of crushing or bruising was commonly associated with agricultural practices, such as the grinding of grain to produce flour. This imagery extended metaphorically to describe social and political oppression, where rulers or conquerors would "crush" their enemies or subjects. The concept of oppression was a significant theme in the Hebrew Bible, reflecting the Israelites' experiences of subjugation under foreign powers and their longing for deliverance and justice.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to cast or tread down<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>tread down (1).<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">הָדַךְ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>cast or tread down</b></font> (Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb021305.gif"> <em>tear down</em> (a building), synonym of <img src="/bdbgif/bdb021306.gif">) — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> <em>Imperative</em> <font class="hebrew2">הֲדֹךְ רְשָׁעִים</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/40-12.htm">Job 40:12</a> <em>cast or tread down, wicked men</em>. <p><font class="hebrew2">הדם</font> (√ of following, compare Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb021307.gif"> <em>overthrow, overturn, cast down </em>). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>tread down <p>A primitive root (compare <a href="/hebrew/1854.htm">daqaq</a>);
