Berean Strong's Lexicon Tsereth: Distress, Affliction Original Word: צֶרֶת Word Origin: Derived from the root צָרַר (tsarar), meaning "to bind" or "to be in distress." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is θλῖψις (thlipsis), Strong's Greek 2347, which also means "tribulation" or "affliction." Usage: The term "Tsereth" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a state of distress or affliction. It often describes the emotional or physical suffering experienced by individuals or groups, particularly in times of trouble or adversity. The word conveys a sense of being bound or restricted by circumstances that cause pain or hardship. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, distress and affliction were common experiences due to the harsh realities of life, including warfare, famine, and disease. The Hebrew Bible frequently addresses these themes, offering both lament and hope. The concept of "Tsereth" is deeply connected to the covenant relationship between God and His people, where distress often serves as a catalyst for repentance and divine intervention.
