Strong's Lexicon itstsabon: Sorrow, pain, toil, labor Original Word: עִצָּבוֹן Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: `itstsabown Pronunciation: its-tsaw-bone' Phonetic Spelling: (its-tsaw-bone') Definition: worrisomeness, labor, pain Meaning: The term עִצָּבוֹן (ʿiṣṣāḇôn) refers to worrisomeness, labor, or pain. It conveys a sense of toil or hardship, often associated with emotional or physical distress. Word Origin: Derived from the root עָצַב (ʿāṣab), which means to hurt, pain, or grieve. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for עִצָּבוֹן, related concepts of labor, pain, and sorrow can be found in Greek terms such as πόνος (ponos • toil, labor) and λύπη (lypē • sorrow, grief). These Greek terms capture similar themes of hardship and emotional distress found in the Hebrew usage of עִצָּבוֹן. Usage: The word עִצָּבוֹן appears in the Hebrew Bible in contexts that describe the burdensome nature of labor or the sorrow associated with human experience. It is used to express the toil and pain that are part of the human condition, particularly as a consequence of the fall of man. Context: • The term עִצָּבוֹן is notably used in Genesis 3:16-17, where it describes the consequences of the fall. In Genesis 3:16, God tells Eve, "I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth; in pain you will bring forth children." Here, עִצָּבוֹן is translated as "pain," highlighting the increased sorrow and labor associated with childbirth as a result of sin. • In Genesis 3:17, God addresses Adam, saying, "Cursed is the ground because of you; through toil you will eat of it all the days of your life." The word עִצָּבוֹן is rendered as "toil," emphasizing the laborious effort required to cultivate the ground and sustain life. • The use of עִצָּבוֹן in these passages underscores the theme of human suffering and the arduous nature of work as part of the divine judgment on sin. It reflects the broader biblical narrative of the struggle and hardship that characterize human existence post-fall. • The term also appears in Genesis 5:29, where Lamech names his son Noah, saying, "He will comfort us in the labor and painful toil of our hands caused by the ground the LORD has cursed." Here, עִצָּבוֹן is associated with the burdensome labor resulting from the curse on the ground, and Noah is seen as a figure of hope and relief from this toil.
