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

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4434 (πτωχός, ptochos): 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.

Usage: The Hebrew word "oniy" 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 conveys both physical and emotional distress, highlighting the plight of individuals who are marginalized or disadvantaged.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, poverty and affliction were common experiences, often resulting from social injustice, war, or natural disasters. The Hebrew Scriptures frequently address the plight of the poor and afflicted, emphasizing God's concern for their welfare and calling His people to act justly and compassionately. The concept of "oniy" is deeply rooted in the covenantal relationship between God and Israel, where God is portrayed as the defender of the oppressed.
