It is used to describe the emotional response to loss, sin, or calamity. The term conveys a profound sense of lamentation, often associated with repentance or the recognition of sinfulness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greco-Roman world, mourning was a significant cultural practice, often involving specific rituals and expressions of grief. In Jewish tradition, mourning was also a deeply ingrained practice, with prescribed periods and customs for expressing sorrow over the death of a loved one or national calamities. Mourning could also be a sign of repentance, as individuals or communities expressed sorrow for sin and sought God's forgiveness.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 3997</b> <i>pénthos</i> – mourning, sadness. <a href="/greek/3996.htm">See 3996</a> (<i>pentheō</i>).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>mourning<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>mourning (5).<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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3997: πένθος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">πένθος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">πένθους</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (<span class="greek2">πένθω</span> ((?);
