Berean Strong's Lexicon hidrós: Sweat Original Word: ἱδρώς Word Origin: Derived from a primary word Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "hidrós," the concept of sweat is present in the Old Testament, particularly in Genesis 3:19, where the Hebrew word "זֵעָה" (ze'ah) is used. Usage: The term "hidrós" refers to sweat, the moisture exuded through the pores of the skin, typically as a result of heat, physical exertion, or stress. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the physical condition of Jesus during His intense prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, sweat was often associated with labor and toil, reflecting the curse of hard work given to Adam in Genesis 3:19, "By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food." In the Greco-Roman context, sweat was also seen as a sign of physical exertion and effort, often associated with athletes and soldiers. In a religious context, sweat could symbolize the intensity of spiritual struggle or fervent prayer.
