Usage: The Hebrew word "otseb" primarily conveys the idea of pain or sorrow, often associated with physical or emotional distress. It can also refer to the toil or labor that results in weariness or hardship. In the biblical context, "otseb" is used to describe the consequences of sin, the burdens of life, and the emotional pain experienced by individuals.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of "otseb" was closely tied to the human experience of suffering and the consequences of the fall. The toil and labor associated with "otseb" reflect the curse pronounced upon humanity in Genesis, where work became burdensome and life was marked by sorrow. This understanding of pain and toil was integral to the Israelites' worldview, shaping their relationship with God and their understanding of redemption and restoration.
