Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3983 (peinao) - to hunger, be hungry - G3984 (peinos) - hungry Usage: The Hebrew word "raeb" is used to describe a state of physical hunger or a lack of food. It can also metaphorically represent a deep longing or desire for something, often used in a spiritual context to describe a yearning for God or righteousness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, hunger was a common experience due to the agrarian society's dependence on seasonal crops and the vulnerability to famine. Hunger was not only a physical condition but also a symbol of spiritual need and dependence on God for sustenance. The Israelites were reminded of their reliance on God through experiences of hunger, such as during their wilderness wanderings when God provided manna.
