The Hebrew word "דָּגַל" (da.gal) with Strong's number H1713A primarily conveys the action of looking. This implies a direct sensory experience, where one engages their visual perception with an object or scene. The fact that it belongs to the Semantic domain of Cognition & Perception further reinforces this interpretation, suggesting a close connection to the way we process information through sight. Given its solitary occurrence in the Bible, the word "דָּגַל" is used in a unique circumstance, which can provide insight into its intended meaning. The lack of additional instances prevents us from observing patterns or comparing its usage across different contexts; however, its solitary appearance underscores its specific significance in the passage where it appears. The fact that "דָּגַל" is narrowly associated with the action of looking without any evident connection to emotions, intentions, or other abstract concepts reinforces its concrete, direct nature. This simplicity underscores the importance of visual perception in the context in which the word is used.
