Another related term is צָמֵא (tsame), Strong's Hebrew Number 6771, which means "thirsty."

Usage: The term δίψος is used in the New Testament to describe a literal thirst for water, as well as a metaphorical thirst for spiritual fulfillment or righteousness. Context: The Greek noun δίψος appears in the New Testament to convey both a literal and metaphorical sense of thirst. In its literal sense, it refers to the physical sensation of needing water, a basic human experience. This is evident in contexts where physical thirst is described, such as in narratives involving travel or desert settings.
