It is used in the context of expressing grief over calamity, loss, or sin. In the Hebrew Bible, "nehi" is typically associated with the mourning practices of ancient Israel, which included crying out, wearing sackcloth, and other acts of penitence and sorrow.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, lamentation was a significant part of religious and communal life. It was a way for individuals and communities to express grief and seek comfort from God. Lamentations were often formalized in poetry and song, and they played a role in both personal mourning and national expressions of sorrow, such as during times of exile or disaster. The practice of lamentation was deeply embedded in the culture, reflecting a worldview that acknowledged human suffering and sought divine intervention and restoration.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5091.htm">nahah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a wailing, lamentation, mourning song<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>lamentation (3), wailing (5).<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">נְהִי</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>wailing, lamentation, mourning song</b></font>; — <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">נ</font> absolute <a href="/interlinear/amos/5-16.htm">Amos 5:16</a> 5t.; <font class="hebrew2">וָנֶהִ֑י</font> <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/9-9.htm">Jeremiah 9:9</a>; — wailing, at <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">י</font>s judgement <a href="/interlinear/micah/2-4.htm">Micah 2:4</a> as accusative of congnate meaning with verb; <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/9-9.htm">Jeremiah 9:9</a> (c.<font class="hebrew2">נָשָׂא עַלֿ</font>, + <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">בְּכִ</font>, "" <font class="hebrew2">קִינָה</font> ), <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/9-17.htm">Jeremiah 9:17</a> (c, id.,"" <font class="hebrew2">דִּמְעָה</font>), <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/9-18.htm">Jeremiah 9:18</a> (<font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">קוֺל נ</font> ), <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/31-15.htm">Jeremiah 31:15</a> ("" <font class="hebrew2">בְּכִי</font>, <font class="hebrew2">תַּמְרוּרִים</font>); <em>mourning song</em> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">יוֺדְעֵי נ</font> <a href="/interlinear/amos/5-16.htm">Amos 5:16</a> of professional mourners, skilled in mourning song; compare <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/9-19.htm">Jeremiah 9:19</a>, where taught ("" <font class="hebrew2">קִינָת</font>), also <font class="hebrew2">הִי</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/2-10.htm">Ezekiel 2:10</a> ("" <font class="hebrew2">אֵכֶל</font>, <font class="hebrew2">מִסְמֵּד</font> q. v.
