Strong's Lexicon anachah: Sigh, groan Original Word: אֲנָחָה Word Origin: Derived from the root אָנַח (anach), which means "to sigh" or "to groan." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 4726: στεναγμός (stenagmos) - meaning "sighing" or "groaning." - Strong's Greek 4727: στενάζω (stenazo) - meaning "to groan" or "to sigh." Usage: The Hebrew word "anachah" refers to a deep, often involuntary expression of distress or sorrow, typically rendered in English as "sigh" or "groan." It conveys a sense of emotional or physical pain, weariness, or lamentation. In the biblical context, it is often associated with the cries of the oppressed or the suffering, reflecting a profound sense of longing or grief. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, expressions of grief and lamentation were common and often public. Sighing or groaning was a natural response to personal or communal suffering, such as oppression, illness, or loss. These expressions were not only personal but also communal, as the community often shared in the suffering of its members. The act of groaning was sometimes seen as a form of prayer or supplication, a non-verbal cry for divine intervention or relief.
