WAX.—See Education, p. 205a; Writing, 6.

Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


דונג , Psa_22:14; Psa_68:2; Psa_97:5; Mic_1:4. Thus the LXX throughout, κηρος, and vulgate cera; so there is no room to doubt but this is the true meaning of the word: and the idea of the root appears to be soft, melting, yielding, or the like, which properties are not only well known to belong to wax, but are also intimated in all the passages of Scripture in which this word occurs.

PRINTER 1849.


waks:
(1) Noun (דּונג, dōnagh): Used only in a simile of melting (Psa_22:14; Psa_68:2; Psa_97:5; Mic_1:4). See WRITING.
(2) A now archaic verb, meaning ?to grow,? used freely in English Versions of the Bible as a translation of various terms in Greek and Hebrew. The past participle in the King James Version and the English Revised Version is ?waxen,? except in Gen_18:12. There (and throughout in the American Standard Revised Version) the form is ?waxed.?

Psa_22:14 (b) In this peculiar way the Lord describes His feelings when stricken with the terrible agony, sorrow and grief at Calvary. He was becoming as wicked as we, and it brought about these terrible feelings in His righteous soul.

( דּוֹנָגor דּוֹנִג, dondg, supposed to come from a root דנג, significant of melting or yielding), the soft sticky substance of which bees form their cells, and which is readily separated from the honey by melting in warm water (Psa_22:14; Psa_68:2; Psa_97:5; Mic_1:4). This is properly called beeswax, and is of vegetable origin, although manipulated by the bees from the pollen of flowers. But there are other kinds of wax, made from resins, either vegetable or mineral (the latter originally vegetable likewise), by the addition of proportions of grease, such as shoemaker's wax, grafting wax, etc. It is doubtful whether the Hebrews were acquainted with any of these artificial sorts.
