Strong's Lexicon misped: Mourning, lamentation Original Word: מִסְפֵּד Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: micepd Pronunciation: mis-payd' Phonetic Spelling: (mis-pade') Definition: a lamentation Meaning: A lamentation; a formal expression of mourning or grief, often in the context of a funeral or a public display of sorrow. Word Origin: Derived from the root verb סָפַד (saphad), which means "to lament" or "to wail." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2870 (κοπετός, kopetos): This Greek term refers to a beating of the breast as a sign of mourning, akin to lamentation. It is used in the New Testament to describe expressions of grief. • G3997 (πένθος, penthos): This Greek word denotes mourning or sorrow, often in the context of repentance or deep emotional distress. It is used in the New Testament to convey the concept of mourning over sin or loss. These Greek terms reflect similar themes of lamentation and mourning found in the Hebrew מִסְפֵּד, highlighting the continuity of these expressions of grief across the biblical texts. Usage: The term מִסְפֵּד is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote acts of mourning, particularly in response to death or calamity. It often involves ritualistic expressions of grief, such as weeping, wailing, and the wearing of sackcloth. Context: מִסְפֵּד (misped) is a noun that appears in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, signifying a communal or individual expression of sorrow. It is frequently associated with funerary practices and is often accompanied by traditional mourning customs. The term is used in passages that describe the mourning for significant figures, such as in Genesis 50:10, where Joseph mourns for his father Jacob: "When they reached the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, they lamented loudly and bitterly; and there Joseph observed a seven-day period of mourning for his father." Similarly, in Amos 5:16, the prophet speaks of widespread lamentation as a sign of impending judgment: "Therefore this is what the LORD, the God of Hosts, says: 'There will be wailing in all the public squares and cries of 'Alas! Alas!' in all the streets. The farmer will be called to mourning and the mourners to lamentation.'" The use of מִסְפֵּד underscores the depth of emotional response to loss and serves as a cultural marker of the ancient Near Eastern mourning practices.
