It is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the groaning of individuals or groups who are suffering or in distress. This groaning is often directed towards God, expressing a plea for help or deliverance.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, expressions of grief and distress were often vocal and communal. Groaning, as captured by the word "neaqah," was a natural response to suffering, whether due to personal affliction, oppression, or communal calamity. Such expressions were not only personal but also served as a call to God, reflecting a deep reliance on divine intervention and justice.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5008.htm">naaq</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a groan, groaning<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>groaning (3), groanings (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">נְאָקָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>groan, groaning</b></font>;
