It conveys a profound sense of grief and emotional pain, often associated with mourning or lamentation. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it reflects the intense emotional response to loss, suffering, or divine judgment.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, expressions of grief and mourning were often public and communal. Bitter weeping, or "tamrur," was a common response to personal or national tragedy. This emotional expression was not only a personal catharsis but also a way to engage the community in shared sorrow. Mourning practices included wearing sackcloth, sitting in ashes, and loud lamentations, which were integral to the cultural and religious life of the Israelites.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same root as <a href="/hebrew/8560.htm">tomer</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>perhaps signpost<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>guideposts (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.
