These Greek terms reflect similar themes of joy and rejoicing found in the New Testament, often in response to the good news of the Gospel and the work of Christ.

Usage: The verb שׂוּשׂ (sus) is used in the Hebrew Bible to convey a sense of joy, gladness, or rejoicing. It often describes an emotional state of happiness or delight, sometimes in response to God's actions or blessings.

Context: The Hebrew verb שׂוּשׂ (sus) appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, often associated with expressions of joy and celebration. It is a term that captures the essence of being bright or cheerful, reflecting an inner state of happiness that is often outwardly expressed. This verb is frequently used in the Psalms and prophetic literature, where it describes the joy of the righteous, the rejoicing of God's people, or the delight in God's salvation and deliverance.

For example, in Isaiah 61:10, the prophet declares, "I will greatly rejoice in the LORD; my soul will exult in my God. For He has clothed me with garments of salvation and wrapped me in a robe of righteousness..." (BSB). Here, the use of שׂוּשׂ underscores the profound joy and gratitude experienced by the speaker in response to God's redemptive acts.

The verb is also used in contexts of communal celebration, such as in Zechariah 9:9, which proclaims, "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem! See, your King comes to you, righteous and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey" (BSB). This passage highlights the collective joy of the people in anticipation of the coming King.

Overall, שׂוּשׂ (sus) is a term that encapsulates the biblical theme of joy, often linked to divine intervention, salvation, and the fulfillment of God's promises.
