Berean Strong's Lexicon umlal: Withered, feeble, weak, languishing Original Word: אֻמְלָל Word Origin: Derived from the root אָמַל (amal), which means "to languish" or "to wither." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of languishing or withering can be related to Greek words such as μαραίνω (maraino - G3133), which means "to waste away" or "to wither." Usage: The Hebrew word "umlal" is used to describe a state of weakness, feebleness, or withering. It often conveys a sense of being worn out or in a state of decline, whether physically, emotionally, or spiritually. This term can be applied to individuals, nations, or even plants, indicating a lack of vitality or strength. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the imagery of withering or languishing was commonly used to describe the effects of drought, famine, or divine judgment. The agrarian society of ancient Israel would have been acutely aware of the implications of withering crops or plants, which symbolized a lack of sustenance and prosperity. Spiritually, the term could also reflect a person's or a nation's moral and spiritual decline, often seen as a result of turning away from God.
