It is used to describe both the act of mourning and the state of being in mourning. This term is frequently associated with the cultural practices surrounding death and loss in ancient Israel.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, mourning was a significant communal and religious practice. It involved specific rituals, such as wearing sackcloth, sitting in ashes, fasting, and wailing. Mourning was not only a personal expression of grief but also a public demonstration of loss, often involving the entire community. The Israelites believed that mourning was an essential part of honoring the deceased and seeking comfort from God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"meadow," part of a place name, see NH0064.<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">אָבֵל</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine 1.</b></font> meadow (?) <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/6-18.htm">1 Samuel 6:18</a> <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ0</font> but read <font class="hebrew2">אֶבֶן</font> compare <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/6-14.htm">1 Samuel 6:14</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/6-15.htm">1 Samuel 6:15</a> <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ6</font> We Dr. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2. proper name, of a location</b></font> city in Northern Israel <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/20-18.htm">2 Samuel 20:18</a>, near Beth Maacah <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/20-14.htm">2 Samuel 20:14</a> = <font class="hebrew2">אָבֵל בֵּית מַעֲכָה</font> <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/20-15.htm">2 Samuel 20:15</a> (so also <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/20-14.htm">2 Samuel 20:14</a> Ew Th We Klo Dr), <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/15-20.htm">1 Kings 15:20</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_kings/15-29.htm">2 Kings 15:29</a>; = <font class="hebrew2">מַיִם</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">א</font>2Chronicles 16:4 (= <i>Abil el †amµ</i>, <em>wheat-meadow</em> northwest of Dan & south of Mutulleh Rob<sup>BR III, 372</sup>). <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>3</b></font> <font class="hebrew2">אָבֵל הַשִּׁטִּים</font> </p><p style="sub1"><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> (= <em>acacia-meadow</em>) in lowlands of Moab <a href="/interlinear/numbers/33-49.htm">Numbers 33:49</a>; = <font class="hebrew2">שִׁטִּים</font> <a href="/interlinear/numbers/25-1.htm">Numbers 25:1</a>; <a href="/interlinear/micah/6-5.htm">Micah 6:5</a> (= Tel Kefrein (?)
