Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of groaning is captured in the New Testament by words such as στενάζω (stenazo - Strong's G4727), which also means to groan or sigh. Usage: The term "anaqah" refers to a deep, often involuntary expression of distress or sorrow, typically manifested as a groan or sigh. It conveys a sense of emotional or physical pain and is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the cries of those in suffering or oppression. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, expressions of grief and distress were often vocalized through groaning or sighing. Such expressions were not only personal but also communal, as they could be part of public lamentations or prayers. The act of groaning was seen as a natural human response to suffering and was often directed towards God as a plea for relief or intervention.
