Berean Strong's Lexicon yagah: To toil, labor, grow weary, be exhausted Original Word: יָגַע Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2872 (κοπιάω, kopiaō): To grow weary, toil, labor - G2596 (καταπονέω, kataponeō): To wear down, oppress 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 exertion leads to fatigue. The term can also imply a sense of striving or struggling, often with a focus on the effort rather than the outcome. 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 weariness would have been familiar to the original audience, who lived in a world where physical labor was essential for survival. The biblical narrative often uses "yagah" to describe the human condition of striving and the burdens of life, contrasting it with the rest and peace found in God.
