It is used in contexts that imply a physical action of piercing or pricking, often with a connotation of causing pain or discomfort. This term can be metaphorically extended to describe actions or situations that cause emotional or spiritual distress.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, piercing was a common practice, whether for practical purposes, such as piercing the ear of a servant to signify lifelong service (Exodus 21:6), or for decorative purposes, such as wearing earrings or nose rings. The act of piercing could also symbolize deeper spiritual truths, such as the piercing of the heart in repentance or conviction.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to dry up, harden<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>withered (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">צָנַם</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>dry up, harden</b></font> (compare Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">צוּנָּמָא</font>,<img src="/bdbgif/bdb085606.gif">, <em>stone</em>); — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> <em>Passive participle</em> feminine plural <font class="hebrew2">צְנֻמוֺת</font> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/41-23.htm">Genesis 41:23</a> (E) of ears of grain. <p>I. <font class="hebrew2">צנן</font> (√ of following; meaning obscure). <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>withered <p>A primitive root; to blast or shrink -- withered. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>צְנֻמ֥וֹת צנמות ṣə·nu·mō·wṯ ṣənumōwṯ tzenuMot<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/genesis/41-23.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Genesis 41:23</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/genesis/41.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">שֶׁ֣בַע שִׁבֳּלִ֔ים <b> צְנֻמ֥וֹת </b> דַּקּ֖וֹת שְׁדֻפ֣וֹת</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/genesis/41.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> ears, <span class="itali">withered,</span> thin,<br><a href="/kjvs/genesis/41.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> ears, <span class="itali">withered,</span> thin,<br><a href="/interlinear/genesis/41-23.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> seven ears <span class="itali">withered</span> thin scorched<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6798.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6798.htm">Strong's Hebrew 6798<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/tzenumot_6798.htm">ṣə·nu·mō·wṯ — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/6797.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="6797"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="6797" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/6799.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="6799"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="6799" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
