It is often used to describe a condition of languishing or suffering, whether due to illness, grief, or other forms of affliction. The term can also imply a sense of weakness or depletion of strength.<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. Illness was often seen as a sign of divine displeasure or a consequence of sin. The concept of being "davah" would have carried significant weight, as it not only affected the individual's physical state but also their ability to participate in religious and social activities. The community played a crucial role in caring for the sick, and rituals of purification were important for restoring both physical and spiritual health.<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 be ill, unwell<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>menstruation* (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">דָּוָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>be ill, unwell</b></font> (Late Hebrew <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ד</font> <em>sorrowful, miserable</em>, not in physical sense;
