Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root לָאָב (la'ab), which is not used in the Bible but is related to the concept of being weary or exhausted.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Greek equivalent for תַּלְאוּבָה (tala'ubah) in the Strong's Greek lexicon, related concepts of dryness or desolation can be found in Greek terms such as ἐρημία (erēmia, Strong's Greek 2048), meaning wilderness or desolation, and ξηρός (xēros, Strong's Greek 3584), meaning dry or withered. These terms capture similar themes of barrenness and lack of vitality, often used in the Septuagint and New Testament to describe spiritual or physical desolation.

Usage: The term תַּלְאוּבָה (tala'ubah) is not directly used in the canonical texts of the Hebrew Bible. It is a lexical entry that describes a condition or state rather than appearing as a specific word in the scriptural narrative.

Context: • The term תַּלְאוּבָה (tala'ubah) is understood within the context of ancient Hebrew to describe a condition of desiccation or extreme dryness. This concept is often metaphorically associated with spiritual or physical exhaustion, reflecting a state of depletion or barrenness. While the word itself does not appear in the biblical text, its root and related concepts are significant in understanding the imagery and symbolism used in the Hebrew Scriptures.
• In biblical literature, desiccation can symbolize judgment or divine displeasure, as seen in passages where the land is described as dry or barren due to the absence of rain or divine blessing. This imagery is used to convey the consequences of disobedience or the withdrawal of God's favor.
• The root לָאָב (la'ab) suggests a connection to weariness, which can be seen in various biblical narratives where the people of Israel experience physical and spiritual exhaustion, often leading to a cry for divine intervention and restoration.
