Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry for the concept of thirst is Strong's G1372 • διψάω (dipsaō), which similarly means to thirst or to suffer thirst. This Greek term is used in the New Testament to express both physical thirst and spiritual longing, as seen in passages like John 4:14, where Jesus speaks of the living water that quenches spiritual thirst. Usage: The verb צָמֵא (tsame') is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the physical sensation of thirst, as well as metaphorically to express a deep longing or desire, often for God or spiritual fulfillment. Context: The Hebrew verb צָמֵא (tsame') appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, primarily conveying the literal sense of experiencing thirst. It is used to describe the physical need for water, as seen in passages where individuals or groups are in a desert or wilderness setting, highlighting their dependence on God's provision for survival. For example, in Exodus 17:3, the Israelites grumble against Moses, saying, "Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to make us and our children and livestock die of thirst?" (BSB).
