Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root עָנָה (ʿānâ), which means "to be bowed down" or "to be afflicted." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The Greek equivalent of the concept of affliction can be found in Strong's Greek Number G1162, δέησις (déēsis), which means "supplication" or "prayer." While not a direct translation, δέησις captures the response to affliction, as it involves earnest prayer and seeking God's help in times of need. Usage: The word is used in the context of describing the condition of being afflicted, often in a spiritual or emotional sense, and is found in the Hebrew Bible to express the suffering or oppression experienced by individuals or groups. Context: • The term עֱנוּת (ʿĕnût) appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe various forms of affliction, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual. It is often associated with the trials and tribulations faced by the people of Israel, as well as the personal struggles of individuals. • In the context of the Old Testament, affliction is sometimes seen as a means of divine testing or discipline, intended to bring about repentance or spiritual growth. For example, in Deuteronomy 8:2-3, the Israelites' time in the wilderness is described as a period of testing and humbling by God. • The concept of affliction is also linked to the idea of humility, as those who are afflicted are often brought to a state of dependence on God. This is reflected in passages such as Psalm 119:67, where the psalmist acknowledges that affliction led to a deeper understanding of God's statutes. • The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) translates עֱנוּת in various contexts, emphasizing the theme of suffering and the resulting reliance on divine aid. For instance, in Psalm 25:18, the psalmist pleads, "Consider my affliction and trouble, and take away all my sins." • Throughout the biblical narrative, affliction serves as a reminder of human frailty and the need for divine intervention, encouraging believers to seek God's presence and guidance in times of distress.
