Strong's Lexicon Tsicha: Drought, Dryness Original Word: צִיחָא Word Origin: Derived from the root צָחַח (tsachach), which means to be dry or parched. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent in the Septuagint for concepts of drought or dryness might include terms like ξηρασία (xerasia), which also denotes dryness or drought. Usage: The term "Tsicha" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a state of dryness or drought, often symbolizing a lack of water and, by extension, a lack of spiritual nourishment or divine blessing. It is used metaphorically to describe spiritual desolation or barrenness. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, water was a precious resource, and droughts were a significant threat to survival. The Israelites, living in a largely arid region, understood drought as a severe trial and often interpreted it as a sign of divine displeasure or judgment. The concept of drought was not only a physical reality but also carried spiritual connotations, representing times of testing or spiritual dryness.
