It is often used in contexts where there is a sense of pressure or oppression, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual. The term can describe situations where individuals or groups are under duress or facing significant challenges.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, the concept of being "pressed" or "oppressed" was not only a physical reality but also a spiritual and social one. The Israelites often faced oppression from surrounding nations, and the language of "tsuq" would resonate with their experiences of being besieged or constrained by enemies. Additionally, the term could be used metaphorically to describe internal struggles or the weight of sin and guilt.<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 pour out, melt<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>poured (1), smelted (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> II.
