Strong's Lexicon laah: To be weary, to be tired, to be exhausted Original Word: לָאָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2872 (kopiao): To grow weary, tired, exhausted (with toil or burdens) - G1573 (ekkaio): To be weary, to faint Usage: The Hebrew verb "laah" primarily conveys the sense of becoming weary or tired, often due to labor or exertion. It can describe physical exhaustion, as well as mental or emotional fatigue. The term is used to express the natural human condition of weariness that results from prolonged effort or hardship. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, physical labor was a significant part of daily life, whether in agriculture, shepherding, or other forms of work. The concept of weariness was well understood, as people often faced long days of toil. The Sabbath rest, as commanded in the Torah, provided a necessary reprieve from such weariness, emphasizing the importance of rest and renewal. The idea of weariness also extended to spiritual and emotional realms, reflecting the burdens of life and the need for divine strength and refreshment.
