Strong's Lexicon yeaph: Weary, faint Original Word: יְעָף Word Origin: Derived from the root יָאַף (ya'aph), which means to be weary or faint. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2872 (κοπιάω, kopiaō) - to grow weary, to toil - G1573 (ἐκκακέω, ekkakeō) - to lose heart, to become weary Usage: The Hebrew word "ye'aph" is used to describe a state of weariness or exhaustion. It often conveys a sense of physical or emotional fatigue, typically resulting from labor, travel, or spiritual struggle. In the biblical context, it can also imply a need for divine strength and renewal. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, physical labor was a significant part of daily life, whether in agriculture, shepherding, or other trades. The concept of weariness was well understood, as people often faced long journeys on foot or strenuous work. Spiritually, the Israelites also experienced weariness in their relationship with God, especially during times of wandering or exile. The idea of weariness is often juxtaposed with the promise of God's rest and renewal. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom yaeph Definition weariness, faintness NASB Translation weariness (1).
