Berean Strong's Lexicon pug: To grow faint, to be exhausted, to become weak Original Word: פוּג Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: pug Pronunciation: poog Phonetic Spelling: (poog) Definition: To grow faint, to be exhausted, to become weak Meaning: to be sluggish Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1573 (ekluo): To loose, to release, to faint - G1590 (ekkamno): To grow weary, to be exhausted Usage: The Hebrew verb "pug" primarily conveys the idea of becoming faint or losing strength. It is often used in contexts where physical or emotional exhaustion is evident. The term can describe a state of weariness or a diminishing of intensity, whether in physical strength, emotional resolve, or spiritual fervor. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, physical strength and endurance were highly valued, especially in a society that relied heavily on agriculture, manual labor, and warfare. The concept of growing faint or weak would have been a significant concern, as it could impact one's ability to work, fight, or fulfill religious duties. The idea of spiritual or emotional exhaustion also resonates with the Hebrew understanding of the human condition, where reliance on God was seen as essential for renewal and strength.
