Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of oppression or distress found in צוּק (tsuq) can be related to several Greek terms in the New Testament, such as θλίβω (thlibō • Strong's Greek 2346), which means to press, afflict, or trouble, and θλῖψις (thlipsis • Strong's Greek 2347), which refers to tribulation or distress. These Greek terms similarly convey the idea of pressure or affliction, often in the context of persecution or trials faced by believers. Usage: The verb צוּק (tsuq) is used in the Hebrew Bible to convey the idea of pressing or squeezing, often in a metaphorical sense to describe situations of oppression or distress. It is used to depict the act of causing hardship or affliction, whether physically, emotionally, or spiritually. Context: The root צוּק (tsuq) appears in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, often associated with the experience of being in a narrow or confined space, both literally and figuratively. This term is used to describe the pressure or burden placed upon individuals or groups, often by external forces or adversaries. In the narrative of the Israelites, it frequently refers to the oppression they faced from surrounding nations or during times of captivity. The term can also be used in a more personal sense, describing the internal distress or anguish experienced by individuals.
