Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G2479 (ἰσχύς, ischus), which means "strength" or "might." While not a direct translation of תִּגְרָה, the Greek term can be related in the sense that strife often involves a struggle for power or dominance, requiring strength or might. However, the primary focus of תִּגְרָה is on the conflict itself rather than the power dynamics involved.

Usage: The term תִּגְרָה appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe situations of conflict or strife, often in the context of interpersonal or communal disputes.

Context: תִּגְרָה (Tigrah) is a Hebrew noun that encapsulates the concept of strife or contention. It is used in the Old Testament to describe situations where there is a provocation or stirring up of conflict. The term is often associated with disputes that arise from human interactions, reflecting the fallen nature of humanity and the propensity for discord. In the biblical narrative, strife is frequently depicted as a destructive force that disrupts peace and harmony within communities and relationships. The use of תִּגְרָה underscores the moral and ethical teachings of the Bible, which advocate for peace, reconciliation, and the resolution of conflicts through wisdom and understanding.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is translated in contexts that highlight the negative impact of strife and the importance of avoiding such conflicts. For example, in Proverbs, wisdom literature often contrasts the destructive nature of strife with the virtues of peace and understanding, encouraging believers to seek harmony and avoid unnecessary disputes.
