oni: Affliction, poverty, misery

Original Word: אֱנִי
Part of Speech: Noun
Transliteration: oniy
Pronunciation: oh-nee
Phonetic Spelling: (on-ee')
Definition: Affliction, poverty, misery

Word Origin: Derived from the root עָנָה (ʿanah), which means "to be afflicted" or "to be humble."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4434 (πτωχός, ptōchos): Often translated as "poor" or "afflicted," this Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe those who are economically disadvantaged or spiritually humble.

- G2346 (θλίβω, thlibō): Meaning "to press" or "to afflict," this term is used to describe tribulation or distress.

Usage: The Hebrew word "ʿoni" primarily denotes a state of affliction or poverty. It is often used in the Old Testament to describe the condition of those who are oppressed, suffering, or in a state of need. The term can refer to both physical poverty and spiritual or emotional distress. It is frequently associated with the plight of the poor and the downtrodden, highlighting their need for divine intervention and justice.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, poverty and affliction were common experiences, often resulting from social injustice, war, or natural disasters. The Law of Moses provided specific instructions for the care of the poor and afflicted, emphasizing the community's responsibility to support those in need (e.g., Deuteronomy 15:7-11). The prophets frequently condemned the exploitation of the poor and called for justice and righteousness. The concept of "ʿoni" is deeply embedded in the biblical narrative, reflecting God's concern for the marginalized and His call for His people to act with compassion and justice.
