Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G5013 • ταπεινόω (tapeinoō): This Greek verb means to make low, to humble, or to bring low. It is often used in the New Testament to describe the act of humbling oneself or being humbled by circumstances. The concept of being brought low or humbled is similar to the Hebrew שׁוּחַ (shûach), as both convey a sense of lowering or sinking, whether in a physical or metaphorical sense. Usage: The verb שׁוּחַ (shûach) is used in the context of sinking or being brought low, often metaphorically to describe a state of depression or being overwhelmed. Context: The Hebrew verb שׁוּחַ (shûach) appears in the Old Testament to convey the idea of sinking or being brought low, both physically and emotionally. It is a term that can describe the physical act of sinking into a substance or being submerged, as well as the emotional state of being bowed down or depressed. This word is used to express a deep sense of being overwhelmed by circumstances, often in a context of distress or humility. In the Berean Standard Bible, the usage of שׁוּחַ (shûach) can be seen in passages that describe the human experience of being weighed down by life's challenges. The term captures the essence of a person who feels as though they are sinking under the weight of their burdens, whether they be external pressures or internal struggles. The concept of sinking or being brought low is a common theme in biblical literature, reflecting the human condition and the need for divine intervention and support. The use of שׁוּחַ (shûach) in the scriptures serves as a reminder of the frailty of human strength and the importance of relying on God during times of trouble.
