Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 2402 (ἱδρώς, hidrōs): This Greek term also means sweat and is used in the New Testament, notably in Luke 22:44, where it describes Jesus' sweat like drops of blood during His prayer in Gethsemane. Usage: The term "zeah" refers to sweat, specifically the perspiration that results from physical exertion or stress.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, sweat was commonly associated with hard labor and the struggles of daily life.
