Strong's Lexicon nehi: Lamentation, wailing Original Word: נְהִי Word Origin: Derived from the root נָהָה (nahah), which means "to wail" or "to lament." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with lamentation is "θρῆνος" (threnos), Strong's Greek 2355, which also means a lament or dirge. Usage: The term "nehi" refers to a deep expression of sorrow or mourning, often associated with public or communal lamentation. It is used in the context of expressing grief over calamity, loss, or sin. In the Hebrew Bible, "nehi" is typically associated with the mourning practices of ancient Israel, which included crying out, wearing sackcloth, and other acts of penitence and sorrow. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, lamentation was a significant part of religious and communal life. It was a way for individuals and communities to express grief and seek comfort from God. Lamentations were often formalized in poetry and song, and they played a role in both personal mourning and national expressions of sorrow, such as during times of exile or disaster. The practice of lamentation was deeply embedded in the culture, reflecting a worldview that acknowledged human suffering and sought divine intervention and restoration.
