Strong's Lexicon yagah: To toil, labor, grow weary, be exhausted Original Word: יָגָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2872 (kopiao): To grow weary, tired, exhausted (with toil or burdens or grief) - G3440 (monon): Only, merely (used in contexts of effort or labor) Usage: The Hebrew verb "yagah" primarily conveys the sense of laboring or toiling to the point of weariness or exhaustion. It is often used in contexts where physical or mental effort leads to fatigue. The term can also imply a sense of striving or exerting oneself in various endeavors, whether they be physical, emotional, or spiritual. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, labor was a significant part of daily life, whether in agriculture, craftsmanship, or other forms of work. The concept of toil and labor is deeply embedded in the biblical narrative, reflecting the human condition post-Fall, where work became associated with hardship and sweat (Genesis 3:17-19). The Israelites understood both the necessity and the burden of labor, and "yagah" captures this dual aspect of work as both a divine mandate and a source of weariness.
