Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root תָּעַף (ta'af), which means to be weary or to toil.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1391 (δόξα, doxa): While primarily meaning "glory" or "honor," this term can also imply the weight or burden of glory, which may metaphorically relate to the concept of toil or exertion. Usage: The word תּוֹעָפָה appears in the Hebrew Bible in contexts that emphasize the physical or emotional state of weariness or the effort involved in toil. It may also be used metaphorically to describe the rapidity or intensity of an action. Context: תּוֹעָפָה (to'afah) is a noun that appears in the Hebrew Scriptures to describe a state of weariness or the exertion associated with toil. This term is often used in poetic or prophetic literature to convey the burdensome nature of human labor or the exhaustion that comes from continuous effort. In some contexts, it may also suggest the idea of speed, indicating a swift or hurried action that results in fatigue. The dual connotations of weariness and speed highlight the physical and emotional demands placed on individuals, whether through laborious tasks or rapid movements. The use of תּוֹעָפָה in the biblical text serves to underscore the human experience of fatigue and the relentless pace of life, often pointing to a deeper spiritual or moral lesson about reliance on divine strength and rest.
