Daintiness, luxury, exquisite delight; refined pleasure or pampered tenderness
The Hebrew noun ta'anug conveys a sense of luxurious pleasure, refined delight, and pampered tenderness. In Proverbs 19:10 it describes a lifestyle of luxury ill-suited to a fool, while Ecclesiastes 2:8 uses the plural for Solomon's accumulated delights. In Song of Songs 7:6 it appears in an intimate address to the beloved, linking sensory pleasure with love. Micah 1:16 and 2:9 shift the register toward tender affection—'dainty sons' and 'dainty houses'—things precious that will be lost in judgment.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Luxury, refined pleasure, exquisite delight. Covers the full semantic range from material indulgence (Prov 19:10; Eccl 2:8) to tender affection for loved ones (Mic 1:16; 2:9) and the delight of love (Song 7:6). Spanish 'deleite' and 'delicias,' French 'délices,' and English 'delights' all converge on the notion of pleasure that is both sensory and emotionally precious—something savored rather than merely possessed. 5×
