Strong's Lexicon ulpeh: Faintness, weakness Original Word: עֻלְפֶה Word Origin: Derived from the root עָלַף (alaph), which means to faint or to be weak. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is ἀσθένεια (astheneia), which also means weakness or infirmity. Usage: The term "ulpeh" is used to describe a state of faintness or weakness, often in a physical or emotional context. It conveys a sense of being overwhelmed or lacking strength, whether due to physical exhaustion, emotional distress, or spiritual depletion. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, physical strength and vitality were highly valued, and faintness was often seen as a sign of vulnerability. The harsh conditions of the Near Eastern environment, including heat and scarcity of resources, could easily lead to physical exhaustion. Spiritually, faintness could also symbolize a lack of faith or divine support, making it a significant concept in the religious texts of the time.
