It conveys a sense of desperation or intense emotion, typically in the context of seeking help or expressing distress. This term is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe both literal and metaphorical cries, whether from individuals or groups.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, crying out was a common expression of deep emotion, whether in times of distress, worship, or communal gatherings. The act of crying out to God was seen as a demonstration of faith and reliance on divine intervention. In a historical context, such cries were often associated with moments of national crisis, personal anguish, or fervent prayer.<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 cry, roar<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cries (1), raise a war cry (1), war cry (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> I. <font class="hebrew2">צָרַח</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>cry, roar</b></font> (Late Hebrew <em>id., cry</em> (of raven); Assyrian <i><em>ƒarâ—u</em></i>, <em>cry aloud</em>, Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb086307.gif"> Ethiopic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb086308.gif"> <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> <font class="hebrew2">צְרַח</font> Aph`el (of bear), Syriac <img src="/bdbgif/bdb086309.gif"> especially Aph`el and derivatives ); — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> <em>Participle active</em> <font class="hebrew2">מַר צֹרֵחַ שָׁם גִּבּוֺר</font> <a href="/interlinear/zephaniah/1-14.htm">Zephaniah 1:14</a> <em>bitterly roareth there a hero</em>, but abrupt in context and improbable; Gr (in part after <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font>) conjectures <font class="hebrew2">יִצְרַח כַּגִּבּוֺר</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">קוֺל י</font> (compare <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Hiph`il</b></font>). <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Hiph`il</b></font> <em>Imperfect</em>3masculine singular <font class="hebrew2">יַצְרִיחַ</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/42-13.htm">Isaiah 42:13</a> <em>utter a roar</em> (of <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">י</font>, going to battle; "" <font class="hebrew2">יָרִיעַ</font>). <p>II. <font class="hebrew2">צרח</font> (√ of following; compare Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb086310.gif"> <em>dig</em> a <img src="/bdbgif/bdb086311.gif">, also <em>cleave</em> the ground, <em>rend open</em>; <img src="/bdbgif/bdb086312.gif"> <em>sepulchral chamber</em> (with niches for bodies); Nabataean <font class="hebrew2">צריחה</font> (compare Nö in Eut<sup>Nab.
