Strong's Lexicon tit: Mud, Mire, Clay Original Word: טִיט Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be sticky Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4081 (πηλός, pēlos): Refers to clay or mud, used in the New Testament to describe the material Jesus used to heal the blind man (John 9:6). Usage: The Hebrew word "tit" refers to mud or mire, often used metaphorically to describe a state of being stuck or trapped in difficult circumstances. It conveys a sense of instability and uncleanness, often associated with the idea of being bogged down or in a pit. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, mud and mire were common elements of the landscape, especially during the rainy seasons when roads and paths could become treacherous. The imagery of being stuck in mud was a powerful metaphor for distress and helplessness. Clay, on the other hand, was also a valuable resource for pottery and construction, symbolizing both the fragility and potential of human life.
