Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 4726 (stenagmos): Groaning, sighing - Strong's Greek 4959 (sustenazo): To groan together Usage: The term "neaqah" refers to a deep, often audible expression of pain, distress, or sorrow. It is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the groaning of individuals or groups who are suffering or in distress. This groaning is often directed towards God, expressing a plea for help or deliverance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, expressions of grief and distress were often vocal and communal. Groaning, as captured by the word "neaqah," was a natural response to suffering, whether due to personal affliction, oppression, or communal calamity.
