It suggests a strong emotional and spiritual thirst, akin to the physical need for water. This term is used to express a profound desire for communion with the divine, reflecting a heart that seeks after God with earnestness and fervor.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the imagery of thirst and longing was a powerful metaphor for spiritual desire. The arid climate of the Near East made water a precious and life-sustaining resource, and thus, the longing for water became a natural symbol for the soul's longing for God. This metaphor would have resonated deeply with the original audience, who understood the desperation and necessity of quenching one's thirst.<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 long for<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>pant (1), pants (2).<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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>cry, pant <p>A primitive root; to long for -- cry, pant. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>תַּעֲר֣וֹג תַּעֲרֹ֥ג תַעֲרֹ֖ג תערג תערוג ta‘ărōḡ ṯa‘ărōḡ ta‘ărōwḡ ta·‘ă·rō·wḡ ta·‘ă·rōḡ ṯa·‘ă·rōḡ taaRog<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/psalms/42-1.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Psalm 42:1</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/psalms/42.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">קֹֽרַח׃ כְּאַיָּ֗ל <b> תַּעֲרֹ֥ג </b> עַל־ אֲפִֽיקֵי־</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/psalms/42.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> For the choir director.
