Strong's Lexicon tanah: To lament, to recount, to rehearse Original Word: תָּנָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of lamentation and recounting can be related to Greek words such as "θρηνέω" (threneo - to lament) and "διηγέομαι" (diegeomai - to narrate, recount). Usage: The Hebrew verb "tanah" primarily means to lament or to recount. It is used in contexts where there is a need to express sorrow or to narrate events, often with a focus on the emotional or reflective aspect of the recounting. This verb can be found in poetic and prophetic literature, where lamentation is a common theme. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, lamentation was a significant part of religious and communal life. Laments were often expressed in times of national distress, personal grief, or during religious observances. They were a means of expressing sorrow, seeking divine intervention, and reflecting on past events. The act of recounting or rehearsing events was also important for preserving history and teaching future generations.
