Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 4727 • στενάζω (stenazō): To groan, to sigh Usage: The verb נָאַק (na'aq) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the act of groaning, often in the context of distress or suffering. It conveys a deep, audible expression of pain or lamentation. Context: The Hebrew verb נָאַק (na'aq) appears in the Old Testament to depict the groaning of individuals or groups under duress or oppression. This term is often associated with the cries of those who are in bondage or experiencing severe hardship. For instance, in Exodus 2:23, the Israelites groan under the weight of their enslavement in Egypt: "After a long time, the king of Egypt died, and the Israelites groaned because of their bondage, and they cried out, and their cry for help because of their bondage rose up to God." This groaning is not merely a physical expression but also a spiritual and emotional outcry for deliverance and divine intervention. The use of נָאַק underscores the depth of human suffering and the earnest plea for relief and redemption. It is a poignant reminder of the human condition and the hope for divine response to suffering.
