It conveys a sense of humility, repentance, and a contrite heart. This word is typically used to describe the inner condition of a person who is deeply aware of their sinfulness and is genuinely repentant before God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of being "crushed" or "contrite" was closely associated with repentance and humility before God. The Israelites understood that a broken and contrite heart was essential for true worship and relationship with God. This idea is rooted in the sacrificial system, where offerings were made to atone for sin, but the true sacrifice God desired was a humble and repentant spirit.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I. <font class="hebrew2">דַּכָּא</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adjective</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>contrite</b></font> (crushed) — <font class="hebrew2">דַּכָּא</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/57-15.htm">Isaiah 57:15</a>;
