Strong's Lexicon marats: To be sick, to be weak, to be grieved Original Word: מָרַץ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "marats," related concepts can be found in Greek words such as "ἀσθενέω" (astheneō - to be weak, sick) and "λυπέω" (lypeō - to grieve, to be sorrowful). Usage: The Hebrew verb "marats" primarily conveys a sense of physical or emotional weakness, sickness, or grief. It is used to describe a state of being that is afflicted or troubled, often in a context of suffering or distress. The term can also imply a sense of being worn down or oppressed by circumstances. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, physical sickness and emotional distress were often seen as interconnected, with spiritual or moral implications. Illness could be perceived as a result of sin or divine displeasure, and healing was sought through both physical and spiritual means. The concept of weakness or grief was not only a personal experience but also a communal concern, as the well-being of individuals was closely tied to the health of the community and their relationship with God.
