Brown-Driver-Briggs [אָגֵם] adjective sad (compare Mishna) אַגְמֵינֶֿפֶשׁ Isaiah 19:10. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to collect or to gather.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Strong's Hebrew Number 99, as the specific term "sad" in Hebrew does not have a one-to-one correspondence in the Greek lexicon. However, Greek terms related to sadness or sorrow include λύπη (lypē • Strong's Greek 3077) and πένθος (penthos • Strong's Greek 3997), which convey similar emotional states in the New Testament context. Usage: The word is used in the context of expressing sadness or sorrow, though it is not frequently found in the Hebrew Bible. Context: The Hebrew word אָגֵם (Agem) is a term that conveys a sense of sadness or sorrow. It is derived from an unused root that implies the act of gathering or collecting, which metaphorically extends to the gathering of emotions such as grief or sadness. The rarity of this term in the biblical text suggests that it may have been used in specific contexts or literary styles, possibly in poetic or lamentation settings. The emotional depth conveyed by אָגֵם reflects the human experience of sorrow, aligning with the broader biblical themes of lament and the expression of deep emotional states before God. The Bible often addresses the reality of human suffering and the appropriate response to it, and terms like אָגֵם contribute to this rich tapestry of emotional expression.
