It is used to describe the burdensome and sometimes futile efforts of human endeavor, reflecting the struggles and challenges faced in life. In the Old Testament, "Amal" can also imply the suffering or distress that accompanies such toil.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, labor was a significant part of daily life, whether in agriculture, craftsmanship, or domestic duties. The concept of "Amal" reflects the reality of a fallen world where work is often accompanied by difficulty and frustration, as seen in the curse of Genesis 3:17-19. This understanding of labor as both necessary and burdensome is woven throughout the wisdom literature of the Bible, particularly in Ecclesiastes, where the futility of toil without divine purpose is a central theme.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5998.htm">amal</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"trouble," an Asherite<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Amal (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> II. <font class="hebrew2">עָמָל</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>name in Asher</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/7-35.htm">1 Chronicles 7:35</a>, <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Αμαα</font>, <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font><sup>L</sup> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Αλαμ</font>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Amal <p>The same as <a href="/hebrew/5999.htm">amal</a>;
