Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2347 (θλῖψις, thlipsis): Often translated as "tribulation" or "affliction," this Greek term shares a similar meaning with "tseirah," denoting pressure or distress. Usage: The Hebrew word "tseirah" is used to describe a state of distress or trouble. It often conveys a sense of being in a tight or narrow place, both physically and metaphorically. This term is used to express the emotional and spiritual anguish experienced by individuals or groups facing adversity, oppression, or danger. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of distress was closely tied to the covenant relationship with God. Distress often resulted from disobedience to God's commandments, leading to divine discipline. Conversely, deliverance from distress was seen as a sign of God's favor and intervention. The Israelites frequently cried out to God in times of trouble, seeking His mercy and deliverance. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfem. of tsair Definition youth NASB Translation youth (1).
