Berean Strong's Lexicon yagia: Weary, laborious, toilsome Original Word: יָגִיעַ Word Origin: Derived from the root יָגַע (yaga), meaning "to toil" or "to labor." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2872 (κοπιάω, kopiaō): To grow weary, to toil, to labor with wearisome effort. - G2596 (καταπονέω, kataponeō): To wear down with toil, to oppress with labor. Usage: The Hebrew word "yagia" is used to describe a state of weariness or exhaustion resulting from labor or toil. It conveys the physical and sometimes emotional fatigue that comes from hard work or strenuous effort. In the biblical context, it often highlights the burdensome nature of human labor and the limitations of human strength. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, labor was a significant part of daily life, whether in agriculture, craftsmanship, or other forms of work. The concept of weariness from labor was well understood in a society where physical toil was necessary for survival. The Sabbath rest, as commanded in the Torah, provided a divine remedy for this weariness, emphasizing the need for rest and reliance on God.
