It can denote both the physical and mental aspects of labor, as well as the results or fruits of such efforts. In the biblical context, "yegiah" often highlights the human experience of work, the challenges associated with it, and the rewards that come from diligent effort.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, labor was a fundamental aspect of daily life. The agrarian culture relied heavily on physical toil for survival, with farming, herding, and craftsmanship being common occupations. The biblical narrative often reflects the value placed on hard work, portraying it as a means of fulfilling God's mandate to steward the earth. The concept of "yegiah" also ties into the broader biblical theme of the dignity of labor and the divine blessing associated with honest work.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/3021.htm">yaga</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>wearying<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>wearying (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">יְגִעָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>wearying</b></font> (late formative, Dr<sup>Intr. 455</sup> Siegf<sup>NH Gram § 47 b</sup>) <font class="hebrew2">וְלַהַג הַרְבֵּה יְגִעַת כָּשָׂר</font> <a href="/interlinear/ecclesiastes/12-12.htm">Ecclesiastes 12:12</a> <em>and studying much is a wearying of flesh.</em> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>weariness <p>Feminine of <a href="/hebrew/3019.htm">yagiya'</a>; fatigue -- weariness. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/3019.htm">yagiya'</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>יְגִעַ֥ת יגעת yə·ḡi·‘aṯ yəḡi‘aṯ yegiAt<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/ecclesiastes/12-12.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Ecclesiastes 12:12</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/ecclesiastes/12.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">וְלַ֥הַג הַרְבֵּ֖ה <b> יְגִעַ֥ת </b> בָּשָֽׂר׃ </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/ecclesiastes/12.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> and excessive devotion <span class="itali">[to books] is wearying</span> to the body.<br><a href="/kjvs/ecclesiastes/12.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> study <span class="itali">[is] a weariness</span> of the flesh.<br><a href="/interlinear/ecclesiastes/12-12.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> and excessive of many <span class="itali">is wearying</span> to the body<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3024.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3024.htm">Strong's Hebrew 3024<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/yegiat_3024.htm">yə·ḡi·‘aṯ — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/3023.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="3023"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="3023" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/3025.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="3025"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="3025" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
