It conveys a sense of intense emotional expression, typically in the context of distress or mourning. In the Hebrew Bible, it is used to depict the sounds of anguish or the cries of those in deep sorrow.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, expressions of grief and lamentation were often vocal and communal. The act of groaning or lamenting was not only a personal expression of sorrow but also a public demonstration of mourning. This cultural practice is reflected in the use of "nehamah" to describe the sounds associated with such expressions. The Hebrew people often used vocalizations as a way to process and communicate their emotions, particularly in times of distress or when seeking divine intervention.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5098.htm">naham</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a growling, groaning<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>agitation (1), roaring (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">נְהָמָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>growling, groaning</b></font>; — only construct <font class="hebrew2">נָָֽהֲמַת</font> : <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/5-30.htm">Isaiah 5:30</a> of sea, in simile of growling of Assyr.
