Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁאַג (sha'ag), which means "to roar" or "to moan."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G2896 (κραυγή • krauge), which means "a cry" or "an outcry." This Greek term similarly conveys the idea of a loud, intense sound, often associated with shouting or crying out in a moment of great emotion or need.

Usage: The term שְׁאָגָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a sound that is akin to a deep, resonant moan or rumble, often associated with the roaring of a lion or the groaning of the earth.

Context: The Hebrew word שְׁאָגָה (she'agah) appears in the context of describing powerful, resonant sounds that convey a sense of deep emotion or natural phenomena. It is often used metaphorically to describe the voice of God or the cries of His people in distress. The imagery associated with שְׁאָגָה is one of overwhelming power and intensity, akin to the roar of a lion, which is both awe-inspiring and fearsome.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the word is used to convey the intensity of divine communication or the profound expression of human suffering. For example, in the prophetic literature, the term may be employed to illustrate the Lord's voice as He speaks with authority and might, shaking the very foundations of the earth. Similarly, it can describe the cries of the oppressed, whose voices rise like a moan to the heavens, seeking justice and deliverance.

The use of שְׁאָגָה in the Hebrew Bible underscores the power of sound as a vehicle for expressing both divine and human emotions. It serves as a reminder of the profound impact of God's voice and the earnest cries of His people.
