Dagah, “Fish,” Strong’s H1710

January 2, 2022 by Christine Miller Leave a Comment

Gen 1:28 | alittleperspective.com

The first occurrence.

And God said: “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the seas, and over the winged creatures of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.” Gen 1:26

The primitive root.

Strong’s H1710 רדה dagah; feminine of Strong’s H1709 דג dag; a concrete noun meaning “fish;” from Strong’s H1711 דגה dagah; a primitive root meaning, “to spawn, to rapidly increase.”

dalet ד = door, thus enter, move, hang
gimel ג = foot, thus foot, walk, gather
hey ה = man w/raised arms, thus look, reveal, wonder, worship, breath

The story: The back and forth (dalet) movement of the foot (gimel) which, on a fish, is his tail, propels him rapidly through the water. Fish spawn most typically by broadcasting (hey, in the sense of revealing) eggs and sperm through the water. Our English word “dog” is from this root, as his tail moves rapidly back and forth.

The Hebrew Testament Biblical text is from the 1917 Jewish Publication Society edition posted by Mechon Mamre online. I have aligned the verse and chapter numbers to the KJV. The Greek Testament Biblical text is from the 1769 Authorized King James edition posted by Official King James Bible online.  For both Testaments, I have modernized words, spelling, and grammar. Translation changes to correct anti-Messiah and anti-Torah bias are noted in the text. The linked studies, chiastic structures, and Scripture pictures are my own and are copyright © Christine Miller.
