◄ 7878. siach ►
Strong's Lexicon siach: Meditation, complaint, talk, communication Original Word: שִׂיחַ Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: siyach Pronunciation: see-akh Phonetic Spelling: (see'-akh) Definition: Meditation, complaint, talk, communication Meaning: to ponder, converse, utter Word Origin: From the root verb שִׂיחַ (siach), which means to muse, meditate, or speak. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "siach," the concept of meditation and thoughtful reflection can be related to Greek words such as μελετάω (meletao - G3191), which means to care for, attend to, or practice, often used in the context of meditative study or reflection. Usage: The Hebrew word "siach" primarily refers to the act of meditating or musing, often in a reflective or contemplative manner. It can also denote a form of communication, whether it be a complaint, a conversation, or a thoughtful discourse. In the biblical context, "siach" is often associated with deep, personal reflection or prayerful meditation on God's word and works. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, meditation was not merely a silent or passive activity but involved active engagement with God's laws and creation. The practice of "siach" was integral to the spiritual life of the Israelites, serving as a means to internalize and reflect upon God's commandments and His presence in their lives. This form of meditation was often vocal, involving the recitation or murmuring of scripture, which helped in memorization and deeper understanding.
