Strong's Lexicon loyah: Weariness, fatigue Original Word: לֹיָה Word Origin: Derived from a root that is not widely attested in Hebrew, possibly related to concepts of weariness or fatigue. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and New Testament for weariness is "κόπος" (kopos - Strong's Greek 2873), which also denotes labor, toil, or trouble. Usage: The term "loyah" is used to describe a state of physical or emotional exhaustion. It conveys a sense of being worn out or tired, often as a result of prolonged effort or struggle. In the biblical context, it can refer to both literal physical tiredness and metaphorical spiritual or emotional weariness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, physical labor was a significant part of daily life, and weariness was a common experience. The agrarian lifestyle, combined with the harsh climate of the Near East, meant that fatigue was a familiar condition. Spiritually, the concept of weariness also extended to the struggles of faith and obedience to God's commandments, reflecting the challenges faced by the Israelites in maintaining their covenant relationship with God.
