Strong's Lexicon etseb: Sorrow, pain, toil, labor Original Word: עֶצֶב Word Origin: Derived from the root עָצַב (atsab), which means "to hurt" or "to grieve." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3077 (λυπη - lupe): Often translated as sorrow or grief, reflecting a similar emotional or physical distress. - G4192 (πονος - ponos): Meaning toil or labor, akin to the burdensome work implied by "etseb." Usage: The Hebrew word "etseb" primarily conveys the idea of sorrow or pain, often associated with emotional or physical distress. It can also refer to the toil or labor that results in weariness or hardship. In the biblical context, "etseb" is used to describe the consequences of sin, the burdens of life, and the emotional pain experienced by individuals. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of "etseb" was closely tied to the human experience of suffering and the consequences of the fall. The toil and pain associated with "etseb" were seen as part of the human condition post-Eden, reflecting the brokenness of the world and the need for divine intervention and redemption. The Israelites understood "etseb" as a reminder of their dependence on God for relief and restoration.
