Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of comfort is παρακλήσις (paraklēsis), Strong's Greek 3874, which also means "encouragement" or "consolation."

Usage: Tanchumeth refers to the concept of comfort or consolation, often in the context of providing solace during times of distress or mourning. It embodies the idea of emotional and spiritual support, reflecting God's compassion and mercy towards His people.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, comfort was a significant aspect of community life, especially during periods of mourning or hardship. The act of comforting was not only a personal gesture but also a communal responsibility. Comforters would visit those in mourning, offering words of encouragement and support. This practice is deeply rooted in the Hebrew understanding of God as a compassionate and comforting presence, as seen in various Psalms and prophetic writings.
