Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root יָגַע (yāgaʿ), which means to toil or labor.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: Strong's Greek Number 2872 • κοπιάω (kopiaō): To grow weary, to toil.
Strong's Greek Number 2596 • κατάκοπος (katakopos): Exhausted, weary.

These Greek terms reflect similar themes of labor and fatigue, often used in the New Testament to describe the physical and spiritual exertion of believers. They align with the Hebrew concept of יָגֵעַ, emphasizing the universal human experience of weariness and the need for rest and renewal.

Usage: The word יָגֵעַ is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe physical or emotional exhaustion. It can refer to the state of being weary due to hard work or the burdens of life.

Context: יָגֵעַ appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Scriptures, often highlighting the human condition of weariness. This term is used to describe both physical fatigue and the emotional or spiritual exhaustion that can accompany life's struggles. For instance, in Isaiah 40:28-31, the prophet speaks of the Lord's strength in contrast to human weariness, emphasizing that even the young and vigorous can grow tired, but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. The concept of יָגֵעַ underscores the limitations of human effort and the need for divine intervention and rest. It serves as a reminder of the Sabbath principle, where rest is not only a physical necessity but also a spiritual discipline.
