Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root יָזַע (yaza‘), which means to sweat or perspire.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry related to the concept of sweat is Strong's G970, ἱδρώς (hidrōs), which also means "sweat." This term is used in the New Testament, notably in Luke 22:44, where it describes Jesus' intense prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane: "And being in anguish, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground." This passage illustrates the profound emotional and physical exertion experienced by Jesus, paralleling the Hebrew concept of sweat as a result of intense labor or stress. Usage: The word יֶזַע is used in the context of physical exertion or labor, where sweat is produced as a natural bodily response. It is often associated with the toil and effort required in work. Context: יֶזַע (yeza‘) appears in the Hebrew Bible in contexts that emphasize the physical and often burdensome nature of human labor. The concept of sweat is introduced in Genesis 3:19, where it is stated, "By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground." This passage highlights the consequence of the Fall, where labor becomes toilsome and sweat is a symbol of the curse upon human work. The term underscores the effort and toil that accompany human endeavors post-Fall, reflecting a world where sustenance is achieved through hard work and perseverance. The imagery of sweat serves as a reminder of the human condition and the reality of life outside the Edenic paradise.
