In the biblical context, it is often associated with the toil and labor that came as a result of the Fall of Man.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, sweat was commonly associated with hard labor and the struggles of daily life. The concept of sweat in the Bible is introduced in Genesis as part of the curse upon Adam, symbolizing the effort and hardship that humanity would face in cultivating the earth. This reflects a broader cultural understanding of work and its challenges in a post-Edenic world.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/3154.htm">yeza</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>sweat<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>sweat (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">זֵעָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>sweat</b></font> (Late Hebrew <font class="hebrew2">זִיעָה</font> (Levy), better <font class="hebrew2">זֵיעָה</font> (Jastr);
