It can also denote imagination or the act of forming mental images or concepts that are not present to the senses. In the biblical context, "dimyon" often relates to the idea of comparing or likening something to another, highlighting similarities or perceived resemblances.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of likeness was significant in understanding the nature of God and humanity. The use of "dimyon" reflects the human tendency to create images or concepts to understand the divine, as well as the caution against idolatry, where physical likenesses were often worshipped. The Hebrew mindset valued the unseen and the spiritual over the physical representations, emphasizing faith and understanding beyond mere appearances.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1819.htm">damah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>likeness<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>like (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">דִּמְיֹן</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>likeness</b></font>, <font class="hebrew2">דִּמְיֹנוֺ כְּאַרְיֵה</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/17-12.htm">Psalm 17:12</a> <em>his likeness is as a lion</em>, i.e. he is like a lion. <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>like <p>From <a href="/hebrew/1819.htm">damah</a>; resemblance -- X like. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/1819.htm">damah</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>דִּמְיֹנ֗וֹ דמינו dim·yō·nōw dimyoNo dimyōnōw<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/psalms/17-12.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Psalm 17:12</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/psalms/17.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3"> <b> דִּמְיֹנ֗וֹ </b> כְּ֭אַרְיֵה יִכְס֣וֹף</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/psalms/17.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> <span class="itali">He is like</span> a lion that is eager<br><a href="/kjvs/psalms/17.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> <span class="itali">Like</span> as a lion [that] is greedy<br><a href="/interlinear/psalms/17-12.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> <span class="itali">is like</span> A lion is eager<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1825.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1825.htm">Strong's Hebrew 1825<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/dimyono_1825.htm">dim·yō·nōw — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/1824.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="1824"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="1824" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/1826.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="1826"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="1826" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
