Taw Before I was afflicted The phrase "Before I was afflicted" suggests a time prior to experiencing hardship or discipline. The Hebrew root for "afflicted" is "עָנָה" (anah), which can mean to be humbled or oppressed. In the biblical context, affliction often serves as a tool for spiritual growth and correction. Historically, the Israelites experienced affliction as a means of turning back to God, such as during their captivity in Egypt or the Babylonian exile. This phrase sets the stage for a personal testimony of transformation through divine discipline. I went astray but now I keep Your word Parallel Commentaries ...
