It is often used in contexts where physical or mental effort leads to fatigue. The term can also imply a sense of striving or exerting oneself in various endeavors, whether they be physical, emotional, or spiritual.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, labor was a significant part of daily life, whether in agriculture, craftsmanship, or other forms of work. The concept of toil and labor is deeply embedded in the biblical narrative, reflecting the human condition post-Fall, where work became associated with hardship and sweat (Genesis 3:17-19). The Israelites understood both the necessity and the burden of labor, and "yagah" captures this dual aspect of work as both a divine mandate and a source of weariness.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to suffer<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>afflicted (1), caused her grief (1), causes grief (1), grieve (2), inflicted (1), torment (1), tormentors (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> I.
