Usage: The Hebrew verb "yaga" primarily conveys the sense of physical or mental exertion leading to weariness or exhaustion. It is often used to describe the effort and toil associated with laborious tasks, whether in a physical, emotional, or spiritual context. The term can also imply the futility or fruitlessness of such efforts when they do not yield the desired results.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, labor and toil were integral parts of daily life, especially in agrarian and pastoral contexts. The concept of weariness from labor is a common theme in the Hebrew Bible, reflecting the human condition and the consequences of the Fall, where labor became toilsome (Genesis 3:17-19). The Israelites were familiar with the physical demands of farming, herding, and building, and "yaga" captures the essence of these strenuous activities.
