It is often used to describe a gentle or measured pace, suggesting a sense of calmness or intentionality in movement. This term can be applied to both literal and metaphorical contexts, indicating a careful or thoughtful approach.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, movement and pace were often symbolic of one's state of mind or spiritual condition. A slow, deliberate walk could indicate peace, contemplation, or humility. The Israelites, living in a land where travel was often on foot, would have been familiar with the nuances of different paces and their implications. The concept of moving slowly or gently would resonate with a people who valued wisdom and reflection.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>perhaps to move slowly<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>lead them in procession (1), wander (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">דָּדָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> [<font size="+1"><b>move slowly</b></font>] (Late Hebrew Pi`el <font class="hebrew2">דִּדָּה</font> <em>lead slowly</em>, Hithpa`el <font class="hebrew2">הִדַּדָּה</font>;
