It can also metaphorically describe a state of desolation or decline.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the agrarian society of ancient Israel, the health of crops and plants was crucial for survival. The imagery of withering or drying up would have been a powerful metaphor for judgment, divine displeasure, or the consequences of sin. It also served as a vivid reminder of the dependence on God's provision for sustenance and life.<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 dry up, shrivel<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>dry (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">צָמַק</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>vb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>dry up, shrivel</b></font> (Late Hebrew <em>id.</em>; <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> <a href="/interlinear/numbers/6-3.htm">Numbers 6:3</a> <font class="hebrew2">צְמִיקִין</font>, for <font class="hebrew2">יְבֵשִׁים</font>); — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> <em>Participle active</em> plural <font class="hebrew2">שָׁדַיִם צֹמְקִים</font> <a href="/interlinear/hosea/9-14.htm">Hosea 9:14</a> <em>shrivelling breasts (of women; "" <font class="hebrew2">רֶחֶם מַשְׁכִּיל</font>). </em><br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>dry <p>A primitive root; to dry up -- dry. <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>צֹמְקִֽים׃ צמקים׃ ṣō·mə·qîm ṣōməqîm tzomeKim<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/hosea/9-14.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Hosea 9:14</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/hosea/9.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">מַשְׁכִּ֔יל וְשָׁדַ֖יִם <b> צֹמְקִֽים׃ </b> </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/hosea/9.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> womb <span class="itali">and dry</span> breasts.<br><a href="/kjvs/hosea/9.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> womb <span class="itali">and dry</span> breasts.<br><a href="/interlinear/hosea/9-14.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> A miscarrying breasts <span class="itali">and dry</span><p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6784.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6784.htm">Strong's Hebrew 6784<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/tzomekim_6784.htm">ṣō·mə·qîm — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/6783.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="6783"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="6783" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/6785.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="6785"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="6785" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
