This Greek term similarly conveys the idea of groaning or sighing, often in the context of suffering or longing for relief. In Romans 8:26, the Apostle Paul uses this term to describe the Spirit's intercession for believers with "groanings too deep for words," illustrating the deep, empathetic involvement of the Holy Spirit in the believer's struggles and prayers. Usage: The term נְאָקָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the groaning or lamentation of individuals or groups who are experiencing severe distress or oppression. It conveys a deep, audible expression of suffering. Context: נְאָקָה (ne'akah) appears in contexts where individuals or groups express profound suffering or distress. This term is often associated with the cries of those who are oppressed or in bondage, seeking relief or deliverance. For example, in Exodus 2:24, the groaning of the Israelites under Egyptian bondage is described using this term: "God heard their groaning, and He remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob." This highlights the responsiveness of God to the cries of His people, emphasizing His compassion and faithfulness to His covenant promises.
