Usage: The Hebrew word "yegia" refers to the physical or mental exertion associated with labor or toil. It often conveys the sense of hard work or effort that is expended in various tasks or endeavors. In the biblical context, it can refer to both the labor of individuals and the broader concept of human effort in the world.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, labor was a fundamental aspect of daily life. The agrarian culture required significant physical effort for farming, herding, and building. Labor was not only a means of survival but also a way to fulfill God's command to subdue and steward the earth (Genesis 1:28). The concept of labor was deeply intertwined with the covenantal relationship between God and His people, where work was seen as a form of worship and obedience to God's commands.
