It conveys a sense of being unwell or afflicted, often in a context of distress or suffering. This term can be applied to both physical ailments and metaphorical expressions of weakness or despair.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, health and wellness were closely tied to one's spiritual and communal standing. Sickness was often seen as a sign of divine displeasure or a consequence of sin. The community played a significant role in caring for the sick, and rituals for purification and healing were integral to religious practice. Understanding terms like "davvay" within this context highlights the holistic view of health in biblical times, encompassing physical, spiritual, and communal dimensions.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>adjective from <a href="/hebrew/1738.htm">davah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>faint<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>faint (3).<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">דַּוַּי</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adjective</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>faint</b></font> (on form compare Ba<sup>NB 487</sup>) — <font class="hebrew2">דַּוָּי֑</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/1-5.htm">Isaiah 1:5</a> 2t. — <em>faint</em>, always of heart <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/1-5.htm">Isaiah 1:5</a> ("" <font class="hebrew2">לָחֳלִי</font> figurative of condition of people);
