Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G1373 • διψάω (dipsaō), which also means "to thirst." This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe both physical thirst and spiritual longing, paralleling the Hebrew usage. For instance, in John 4:14, Jesus speaks of the living water that quenches spiritual thirst: "But whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a fount of water springing up to eternal life" (BSB). This illustrates the continuity of the metaphor of thirst from the Hebrew Scriptures into the New Testament, emphasizing the fulfillment of spiritual needs through Christ. Usage: The term צָמָא is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a physical state of thirst, often symbolizing a deeper spiritual longing or need. It appears in contexts where there is a lack of water, both literally and metaphorically, indicating a desire for sustenance or divine intervention. Context: The Hebrew word צָמָא (tsama') is a verb that primarily denotes the physical sensation of thirst. It is used in various passages to describe the condition of individuals or groups who are in need of water. For example, in Exodus 17:3, the Israelites express their thirst in the wilderness, highlighting their dependence on God's provision: "But the people thirsted there for water, and they grumbled against Moses, saying, 'Why have you brought us out of Egypt to make us and our children and livestock die of thirst?'" (BSB).
