It is used both literally and metaphorically throughout Scripture to describe moments of human frailty and the need for divine strength and encouragement.<br><br><b>Old Testament Usage</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word often translated as "faint" is "&#1506;&#1464;&#1497;&#1461;&#1507;" (ayeph), which can mean weary or exhausted. One notable instance is found in <a href="/isaiah/40-29.htm">Isaiah 40:29-31</a> : "He gives power to the faint and increases the strength of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall. But those who wait upon the LORD will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint." This passage highlights God's provision of strength to those who are physically and spiritually exhausted, emphasizing the importance of reliance on the Lord.<br><br>Another example is found in <a href="/deuteronomy/20-3.htm">Deuteronomy 20:3</a>, where the Israelites are instructed not to be faint-hearted in battle: "He shall say to them, &#8216;Hear, O Israel, today you are going into battle against your enemies. Do not be faint-hearted or afraid; do not be alarmed or terrified because of them.&#8217;" Here, "faint-hearted" is used to describe a lack of courage or resolve, urging the Israelites to trust in God's deliverance.<br><br><b>New Testament Usage</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the Greek word "&#7952;&#954;&#954;&#945;&#954;&#941;&#969;" (ekkakeo) is often translated as "faint" or "lose heart." In <a href="/luke/18.htm">Luke 18:1</a> , Jesus tells a parable to illustrate the importance of persistent prayer: "Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray at all times and not lose heart." This teaching encourages believers to remain steadfast in prayer, even when circumstances seem discouraging.<br><br>Similarly, in <a href="/galatians/6-9.htm">Galatians 6:9</a> , Paul exhorts the church: "Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Here, the call is to persevere in doing good, with the assurance that perseverance will ultimately lead to a rewarding outcome.<br><br><b>Spiritual Implications</b><br><br>The concept of fainting in the Bible often serves as a metaphor for spiritual weariness or discouragement. Believers are encouraged to find their strength in God, who is depicted as a source of renewal and encouragement. <a href="/psalms/27-13.htm">Psalm 27:13-14</a> reflects this sentiment: "Still I am certain to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait patiently for the LORD; be strong and courageous. Wait patiently for the LORD!"<br><br>Throughout Scripture, the antidote to faintness is a steadfast faith in God, reliance on His promises, and the support of the Christian community. The biblical narrative consistently points to God's faithfulness in sustaining His people, providing them with the strength to endure trials and overcome spiritual fatigue.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

The 11 Hebrew and 3 Greek words and their derivatives are used in 62 passages in the King James Version to express these conditions.<br><br>`Ayeph is used to express the exhaustion from fatigue and hunger in the case of Esau (<a href="/genesis/25-29.htm">Genesis 25:29, 30</a>). This and its variants come from a root which primarily means "to cover or conceal," therefore "to be dark or obscure," and so, figuratively, "to be faint or depressed." Israel's helpless state when harassed by Amalek (<a href="/deuteronomy/25-18.htm">Deuteronomy 25:18</a>) and the plight of Gideon's weary force when they sought in vain for help at Succoth (<a href="/judges/8-4.htm">Judges 8:4</a>) are described by the same word. Isaiah also uses it to picture the disappointed and unsatisfied appetite of the thirsty man awakening from his dream of refreshment (<a href="/isaiah/29-8.htm">Isaiah 29:8</a>). In <a href="/2_samuel/16-14.htm">2 Samuel 16:14</a>, `ayephim is probably a proper name of a place (Revised Version, margin).<br><br>`Uph in <a href="/1_samuel/14-28.htm">1 Samuel 14:28-31</a> describes the exhaustion of Saul's host in pursuit of the Philistines after the battle of Michmash. The same word expresses the failure of David's strength when in conflict with the same foes, which led to his imminent peril and to the consequent refusal of the commander of his army to allow him to take part personally in the combat (<a href="/2_samuel/21-15.htm">2 Samuel 21:15</a>).<br><br>Ya`-aph is used by Ziba when he brought refreshments to David's men on the flight from Absalom (<a href="/2_samuel/16-2.htm">2 Samuel 16:2</a>); see also its use in <a href="/isaiah/40-28.htm">Isaiah 40:28</a>. Cognate verbal forms occur in <a href="/isaiah/40-30.htm">Isaiah 40:30, 31</a> <a href="/jeremiah/2-24.htm">Jeremiah 2:24</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/51-58.htm">Jeremiah 51:58, 64</a> <a href="/habakkuk/2-13.htm">Habakkuk 2:13</a>, as also in <a href="/judges/8-15.htm">Judges 8:15</a>, meaning in all cases the faintness or exhaustion of fatigue or weariness.<br><br>`Alpah expresses the faintness from thirst in <a href="/amos/8-13.htm">Amos 8:13</a>, or from the heat of the sun (<a href="/jonah/4-8.htm">Jonah 4:8</a>), and figuratively, the despondency which was the result of the captivity (<a href="/isaiah/51-20.htm">Isaiah 51:20</a>). Ezekiel uses it allegorically as describing the withering of the trees for grief at the death of the Assyrian kings (<a href="/ezekiel/31-15.htm">Ezekiel 31:15</a>).<br><br>`ATaph is the weariness of the wanderers in the desert (<a href="/psalms/107-5.htm">Psalm 107:5</a>), the faintness from hunger (<a href="/lamentations/2-19.htm">Lamentations 2:19</a>), or the despondency of Jonah dispelled by his remembrance of God's mercies (<a href="/jonah/2-7.htm">Jonah 2:7</a>).<br><br>Dawway, from a root which signifies the sickness produced by exhaustion from loss of blood, is used in <a href="/isaiah/1-5.htm">Isaiah 1:5</a> for the faintness of heart, the result of remorse for sin, and in <a href="/jeremiah/8-18.htm">Jeremiah 8:18</a> for the prophet's sorrow for the sins of Israel. A cognate form expresses his sorrow on account of the judgments of God which were incurred as punishments for the national backsliding (<a href="/lamentations/1-13.htm">Lamentations 1:13, 12</a>; <a href="/lamentations/5-17.htm">Lamentations 5:17</a>).<br><br>Macac, literally, "dissolving or melting," is applied to the contagious fear which the example of a cowardly soldier produces among his comrades (<a href="/deuteronomy/20-8.htm">Deuteronomy 20:8</a>, the Revised Version (British and American) "melt"). In the remarkable passage in <a href="/isaiah/10-18.htm">Isaiah 10:18</a>, in which God pronounces the doom of Assyria when his purposes of chastisement on Israel have been fulfilled, the collapse of Assyria is said to be "as when a standard-bearer fainteth." For this the Revised Version, margin substitutes "as when a sick man pineth away," which is probably the correct rendering. The word macac may mean either a sick man, or else something glittering and seen from afar, such as a standard, but the former sense is more intelligible and suggestive in the context. The rarely used verbal form cognate to macac is used on account of its assonance. Yaghea` (yagha`), which is usually translated "grieved" or "tormented" or "fatigued," is rendered as "fainted" in <a href="/jeremiah/45-3.htm">Jeremiah 45:3</a>. This passage, "I fainted in my sighing" the King James Version, is in Hebrew the same as that which reads, "I am weary with my groaning" in <a href="/psalms/6-6.htm">Psalm 6:6</a>, and is similarly rendered in the Revised Version (British and American).<br><br>Rakhakh, like macac, primarily signifies "to melt" or "to become soft," and is used in prophetic exhortations in which the people are encouraged not to be panic-stricken in the presence of enemies (<a href="/deuteronomy/20-3.htm">Deuteronomy 20:3</a>, and also <a href="/jeremiah/51-46.htm">Jeremiah 51:46</a> <a href="/isaiah/7-4.htm">Isaiah 7:4</a>). Another related word, morekh, in the sense of despair and utter loss of courage, is used in expressing the consequences of God's wrath against Israel (<a href="/leviticus/26-36.htm">Leviticus 26:36</a>). In its literal sense it signifies "blandness," as of the words of a hypocritical enemy (<a href="/psalms/55-21.htm">Psalm 55:21</a>).<br><br>Paghar is the prostration of utter fatigue whereby one is unable to raise himself or to proceed on a journey, as were some of David's little band (<a href="/1_samuel/30-10.htm">1 Samuel 30:10-21</a>). A cognate word describes the prostration of amazement and incredulity with which Jacob heard of Joseph's condition in Egypt (<a href="/genesis/45-26.htm">Genesis 45:26</a>).<br><br>Kahah, the pining of earnest, longing desire, is translated "fainteth" in <a href="/psalms/84-2.htm">Psalm 84:2</a>; <a href="/psalms/119-81.htm">Psalm 119:81</a>; elsewhere it is rendered by words expressing wasting or languishing. The panic in Canaan due to famine is expressed (<a href="/genesis/47-13.htm">Genesis 47:13</a>) by the word lahah, which implies a state of frenzy.<br><br>The only records of actual fainting are<br><br>(1) Daniel, in <a href="/daniel/8-27.htm">Daniel 8:27</a>, where the word used is the Niphal of the verb hayah, literally, "became," meaning that he became weak;<br><br>(2) swooning is mentioned in Additions to <a href="/esther/5-7.htm">Esther 5:7-14</a>.<br><br>In the New Testament "faint" is used in the sense of physical exhaustion (<a href="/matthew/9-36.htm">Matthew 9:36</a> the King James Version; <a href="/matthew/15-32.htm">Matthew 15:32</a> <a href="/mark/8-3.htm">Mark 8:3</a>), where it is part of the verb ekluo, "to relax." Otherwise it is used figuratively of discouragement of spirit. The same verb is used in <a href="/galatians/6-9.htm">Galatians 6:9</a> <a href="/hebrews/12-3.htm">Hebrews 12:3, 5</a>; but in <a href="/luke/18-1.htm">Luke 18:1</a> <a href="/2_corinthians/4-1.htm">2 Corinthians 4:1-16</a>; <a href="/ephesians/3-13.htm">Ephesians 3:13</a> it is part of the verb ekkakeo (according to some authorities egkakeo, pronounced enkakeo, meaning "to be faint-hearted" or "to be culpably negligent"). In <a href="/revelation/2-3.htm">Revelation 2:3</a> it is kopiao, literally, "to be tired."<br><br>Alexander Macalister<p><a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/674.htm"><span class="l">674. apopsucho -- to leave off breathing, ie <b>faint</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> to leave off breathing, ie <b>faint</b>.
