Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2347 (θλῖψις, thlipsis): Often translated as "tribulation" or "affliction," this Greek term shares a similar meaning with "tseirah," denoting pressure or distress.

The Israelites frequently cried out to God in times of trouble, seeking His mercy and deliverance. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfem. of tsair Definition youth NASB Translation youth (1).
