It conveys the action of making a sound by hitting or tapping, often used in the context of knocking on a door. This term can also imply a sense of urgency or insistence, as one might knock persistently to gain attention or entry.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern culture, knocking on a door was a common practice for seeking entry or announcing one's presence. Doors were often made of wood or other sturdy materials, and knocking served as a polite and necessary means of communication before entering a dwelling. The act of knocking could symbolize seeking permission, requesting hospitality, or delivering a message. In a broader cultural context, knocking could also represent a spiritual or metaphorical appeal, as seen in various biblical narratives.<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 beat, knock<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>driven hard (1), knocking (1), pounding (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">דָּפַק</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>beat, knock</b></font> (Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb020007.gif"> <em>pour out</em>, also <em>drive</em> (beasts)) — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> <em>Perf.</em>3masculine plural suffix <font class="hebrew2">וּדְפָקוּם</font> consecutive <a href="/interlinear/genesis/33-13.htm">Genesis 33:13</a>, but read 1singular suffix <font class="hebrew2">וּדְפַקְתִּים</font> <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ6</font> Sam Di <em>beat</em> (in driving, drive severely or cruelly); <em>Participle</em> <font class="hebrew2">דּוֺפֵק</font> <a href="/interlinear/songs/5-2.htm">Songs 5:2</a> absolute <em>knocking</em> (at door). <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Hithpa`el</b></font> <em>Participle</em> <font class="hebrew2">מִתְדַּמְּקִים עַלהַֿדָּ֑לֶת</font> <a href="/interlinear/judges/19-22.htm">Judges 19:22</a> <em>beat violently</em> (beat themselves tired) against the door. <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>beat, knock, overdrive <p>A primitive root; to knock; by analogy, to press severely -- beat, knock, overdrive. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>דוֹפֵ֗ק דופק וּדְפָקוּם֙ ודפקום מִֽתְדַּפְּקִ֖ים מתדפקים ḏō·w·p̄êq doFek ḏōwp̄êq miṯ·dap·pə·qîm mitdappeKim miṯdappəqîm ū·ḏə·p̄ā·qūm udefaKum ūḏəp̄āqūm<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/genesis/33-13.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Genesis 33:13</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/genesis/33.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">עָל֣וֹת עָלָ֑י <b> וּדְפָקוּם֙ </b> י֣וֹם אֶחָ֔ד</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/genesis/33.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> are a care <span class="itali">to me.
