Strong's Lexicon telaah: Hardship, weariness, trouble Original Word: תְּלָאָה Word Origin: Derived from the root לָאָה (la'ah), meaning "to be weary" or "to be exhausted." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "telaah," the concept of weariness or hardship can be found in Greek words such as κόπος (kopos - labor, toil) and κάματος (kamas - weariness, fatigue). Usage: The Hebrew word "telaah" is used to describe a state of hardship, weariness, or trouble. It conveys a sense of physical or emotional exhaustion, often resulting from difficult circumstances or prolonged struggles. In the biblical context, it is used to express the burdens and challenges faced by individuals or groups, highlighting their need for divine intervention or relief. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, life was often marked by physical labor, warfare, and the challenges of survival in a harsh environment. The concept of "telaah" would have resonated deeply with the Israelites, who frequently faced periods of hardship, whether due to external threats, such as enemy nations, or internal struggles, such as famine or social injustice.
