It is a term that conveys deep sorrow and is typically associated with mourning the dead or expressing profound grief over a significant loss or calamity.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, lamentation was a formal and communal expression of grief. It often involved specific rituals, including the chanting of dirges, tearing of garments, and the use of sackcloth and ashes. Lamentations were not only personal expressions of sorrow but also served as communal acts of mourning, reflecting the collective grief of a community or nation. The practice of lamentation is deeply rooted in the cultural and religious life of the Israelites, as seen in the Book of Lamentations and various Psalms.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>denominative verb from <a href="/hebrew/7015.htm">qinah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to chant an elegy or dirge<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>chant (3), chanted (2), chanted a lament (1), lament (1), mourning women (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">קוֺנֵן</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb denominative Po`l.</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>chant a</b></font> <font class="hebrew2">קִינָה</font>;
