Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent might be found in terms like "ἀσθενέω" (astheneō - Strong's G770), which means to be weak or sick, capturing a similar sense of physical or spiritual frailty.

Usage: The Hebrew verb "nalah" conveys a sense of physical or emotional exhaustion, weakness, or languishing. It is used to describe a state of weariness or depletion, often in the context of a struggle or prolonged effort. This term can be applied to both physical and spiritual conditions, indicating a need for renewal or divine intervention.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, physical strength and vitality were highly valued, especially in a society that relied heavily on agriculture and manual labor. The concept of exhaustion or languishing would have been familiar to those who worked the land or engaged in long journeys. Spiritually, the Israelites often faced periods of trial and testing, during which they might feel spiritually depleted or in need of God's strength and restoration.
