Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root אָמַל (amal), which means to languish or to be weak.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Hebrew and Greek terms, the concept of languishing or weakness can be related to Greek words such as ἀσθενής (asthenēs, Strong's Greek 772), which means weak or feeble, and κάμνω (kamnō, Strong's Greek 2577), which means to be weary or to suffer. These Greek terms capture similar themes of frailty and exhaustion found in the Hebrew אֲמֵלָל.

Usage: The word אֲמֵלָל is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a condition of physical or emotional weakness, often in the context of lamentation or distress.

Context: • The Hebrew word אֲמֵלָל appears in the context of expressing a state of languor or feebleness. It is often associated with a sense of mourning or desolation, reflecting a condition where vitality and strength are diminished. This term is used to depict individuals or groups who are experiencing a profound sense of weakness, either physically or spiritually.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, the word is used in passages that highlight the frailty of human condition or the consequences of divine judgment. For example, in Isaiah 16:8, the vineyards of Heshbon languish, symbolizing the decline and desolation brought upon by external forces.
• The usage of אֲמֵלָל in the Hebrew Scriptures serves as a poignant reminder of the transient nature of human strength and the need for reliance on divine support. It underscores the theme of human vulnerability and the inevitable decline that comes with separation from God's sustaining power.
