It can denote physical hunger or a deeper, spiritual longing.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the stomach or belly was often seen as the seat of emotions and desires. This understanding is reflected in various biblical texts where physical hunger is paralleled with spiritual or emotional needs. The concept of the belly as a center of desire is consistent with other ancient Near Eastern cultures, where the physical and spiritual were closely intertwined.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/3510.htm">kaab</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a pain<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>heavy (1), pain (4), sorrow (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">כְּאֵב</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Job 2:13</sup> <font size="+1"><b>pain</b></font>;
