It conveys a sense of yearning or earnest seeking, often in a spiritual or emotional context. This word captures the intensity of a heartfelt desire, whether for God, righteousness, or other noble pursuits.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, longing and desire were often associated with one's relationship with God and the pursuit of righteousness. The Hebrew language frequently uses vivid imagery to express deep emotions and spiritual states. The concept of longing is integral to the Hebrew understanding of faith, reflecting a deep-seated yearning for communion with the divine and the fulfillment of God's promises.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/14.htm">abah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>the caperberry<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>caperberry (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">אֲבִיּוֺנָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>caper-berry</b></font> (as stimulating desire) <a href="/interlinear/ecclesiastes/12-5.htm">Ecclesiastes 12:5</a> (see GFM<sup>JBL 1891, 55 ff.</sup>;
