It conveys a sense of instability and uncleanness, often associated with the idea of being bogged down or in a pit.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, mud and mire were common elements of the landscape, especially during the rainy seasons when roads and paths could become treacherous. The imagery of being stuck in mud was a powerful metaphor for distress and helplessness. Clay, on the other hand, was also a valuable resource for pottery and construction, symbolizing both the fragility and potential of human life.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>mud, mire, clay<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>clay (2), mire (7), mud (3).<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">טִיט</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>mud, mire, clay</b></font> (Late Hebrew <em>id.</em>; Assyrian <i><em>‰î‰u</em></i>, <em>id.</em>, Flood Tablet iii, 10. 25) — absolute <font class="hebrew2">טִיט</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/41-22.htm">Job 41:22</a> 6t.; construct <em>id.</em> <a href="/interlinear/micah/7-10.htm">Micah 7:10</a> 5t.; — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <em>mud, mire</em> of streets (always in simile of contempt, ignominious treatment) <font class="hebrew2">חוּצוֺת</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ט</font> <a href="/interlinear/micah/7-10.htm">Micah 7:10</a>; <a href="/interlinear/psalms/18-43.htm">Psalm 18:43</a> = <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/22-43.htm">2 Samuel 22:43</a>; <a href="/interlinear/zechariah/9-3.htm">Zechariah 9:3</a>; <a href="/interlinear/zechariah/10-5.htm">Zechariah 10:5</a>; of Jeremiah's dungeon <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/38-6.htm">Jeremiah 38:6</a> (twice in verse); of mire in which crocodile lies <a href="/interlinear/job/41-22.htm">Job 41:22</a>; cast up by sea <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/57-20.htm">Isaiah 57:20</a> ("" <font class="hebrew2">רֶפֶשׁ</font>); of a bog (figurative of distress) <a href="/interlinear/psalms/69-15.htm">Psalm 69:15</a> and <font class="hebrew2">הַיָּוֵן</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ט</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/40-30.htm">Psalm 40:30</a>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> poetic <font size="+1"><b>of potter's clay</b></font> ("" <font class="hebrew2">חֹמֶר</font>) <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/41-25.htm">Isaiah 41:25</a>, brick-<em>clay</em> ("" <em>id.</em>) <a href="/interlinear/nahum/3-14.htm">Nahum 3:14</a>. <p><font class="hebrew2">טוֺטָפֹת</font>, <font class="hebrew2">טֹטָפֹת</font> see <font class="hebrew2">טטף</font>. <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>clay, dirt, mire <p>From an unused root meaning apparently to be sticky (rath.
