Strong's Lexicon tsowq: Distress, pressure, oppression Original Word: צוֹק Word Origin: Derived from the root verb צוּק (tsuwq), which means "to press" or "to constrain." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2347 (θλῖψις, thlipsis): Often translated as "tribulation" or "affliction," this Greek word carries a similar meaning of pressure or distress. - G318 (ἀναγκαία, anagkaia): Meaning "necessity" or "distress," it reflects situations of compulsion or hardship. Usage: The Hebrew word "tsowq" refers to a state of distress or pressure, often used to describe situations of oppression or hardship. It conveys a sense of being in a tight spot or under significant strain, whether physically, emotionally, or spiritually. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of distress was not only a personal experience but also a communal one. The Israelites often faced external threats from surrounding nations, leading to periods of national distress. Additionally, the social and economic structures of the time could lead to personal oppression, such as debt slavery or unjust treatment by those in power. The Hebrew Scriptures frequently address these issues, calling for justice and compassion.
