It can refer to physical pressure or metaphorical oppression, such as the burden placed upon individuals or groups by external forces.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, the concept of oppression was a significant theme, both in terms of foreign domination and social injustice within the community. The Israelites experienced oppression under various foreign powers, including the Egyptians, Babylonians, and Assyrians. Social justice was a critical concern in the Mosaic Law, which sought to protect the vulnerable from being oppressed by the powerful.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>perhaps to urge<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>urgent (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">נָחַץ</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>urge</b></font> (?), whence (si vera lectio); — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> <em>Passive participle</em> (<em>active</em> Participle in <em>u</em>, according to Ba<sup>NB 175</sup>), <font class="hebrew2">דְּבַד הַמֶּל֛ח נָחוּץ</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/21-9.htm">1 Samuel 21:9</a> <em>the king's business was urgent</em> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">κατὰ σπουδήν</font>, A <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">κατασπεῦδον</font>).
