Context: The Hebrew verb יָגָה (yāḡâ) is a primitive root that appears in the context of expressing grief or sorrow. This term is used to describe the emotional state of individuals who are experiencing profound sadness or mourning. The act of grieving, as denoted by יָגָה, is often associated with personal loss, national calamity, or divine judgment. In the Hebrew Scriptures, this term is used to depict the heartfelt lamentation of individuals or communities in response to adverse circumstances.

The concept of grief in the biblical context is not merely an emotional response but often carries a spiritual dimension, reflecting a recognition of human frailty and dependence on God. The expression of grief can lead to repentance, a turning back to God, and a seeking of His comfort and restoration.
