It is often used metaphorically in the Scriptures to describe a spiritual longing or desire for God, His presence, or His righteousness. This term captures both the physical necessity and the spiritual yearning that parallels the human need for water.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the arid climate of the ancient Near East, water was a precious and often scarce resource. Thirst was a common and pressing concern, making it a powerful metaphor for spiritual longing. The Israelites, who experienced the harsh conditions of the wilderness, would have understood the desperation and urgency associated with thirst. This cultural context enriches the metaphorical use of "tsimmaon" in the Scriptures, where it often symbolizes a deep, existential need for God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6770.htm">tsame</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>thirsty ground<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>thirsty ground (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">צִמָּאוֺן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>thirsty ground</b></font>;
