It is used in the context of expressing profound emotional pain, typically due to loss or calamity. The term captures the intensity of human suffering and the emotional response to tragic circumstances.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, expressions of grief and mourning were significant communal and personal experiences. Mourning practices included wearing sackcloth, sitting in ashes, fasting, and wailing. The expression of sorrow was not only a personal emotional response but also a communal activity, reflecting the collective experience of loss or disaster. The Hebrew Bible often portrays tugah in the context of national calamities, personal loss, or divine judgment, emphasizing the depth of human emotion in response to life's trials.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/3013.htm">yagah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>grief<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>grief (3), sorrow (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">תּוּגָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>grief</b></font> (poetry) — absolute <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ת</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/119-28.htm">Psalm 119:28</a>;
