Strong's Lexicon tamrur: Bitterness, bitter weeping Original Word: תַּמְרוּר Word Origin: Derived from the root תָּמַר (tamar), which means "to be bitter" or "to be embittered." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of bitterness and lamentation can be related to Greek terms such as πικρία (pikria - G4088), which means bitterness, and θρῆνος (threnos - G2355), which means lamentation or wailing. Usage: The term "tamrur" is used to describe a state of deep sorrow or bitter weeping. It conveys a profound sense of grief and emotional pain, often associated with mourning or lamentation. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it reflects the intense emotional response to loss, suffering, or divine judgment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, expressions of grief and mourning were often public and communal. Bitter weeping, or "tamrur," was a common response to personal or national tragedy. This emotional expression was not only a personal catharsis but also a way to engage the community in shared sorrow. Mourning practices included wearing sackcloth, sitting in ashes, and loud lamentations, which were integral to the cultural and religious life of the Israelites.
