Usage: The verb שָׁאַג (sha'ag) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a loud, often deep sound, akin to roaring or moaning. It is frequently used to depict the roaring of a lion or the tumultuous sound of the sea, as well as the moaning of individuals in distress. Context: • The verb שָׁאַג (sha'ag) appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Scriptures, often conveying a sense of power, intensity, or deep emotion. It is used to describe the roaring of a lion, which is a common biblical metaphor for strength and ferocity. For example, in Amos 3:8, the prophet declares, "The lion has roared—who will not fear? The Lord GOD has spoken—who will not prophesy?" (BSB). This usage underscores the awe and fear inspired by both the lion's roar and God's voice. • Additionally, שָׁאַג is used to describe the sound of the sea in its tumult, as seen in Jeremiah 6:23, where the prophet speaks of an approaching army: "They grasp the bow and spear; they are cruel and merciless. Their voice roars like the sea, and they ride on horses, lined up like men in formation against you, O Daughter of Zion." (BSB). Here, the roaring of the sea symbolizes overwhelming power and impending doom. • The term also captures the moaning of individuals in distress, reflecting deep emotional turmoil or suffering. In Job 3:24, Job laments, "For my sighing comes before my bread, and my groanings are poured out like water." (BSB). The use of שָׁאַג in this context highlights the intensity of Job's anguish. • Overall, שָׁאַג conveys a sense of profound sound, whether it be the majestic roar of a lion, the chaotic rumble of the sea, or the heartfelt moan of a suffering soul.
