It can also refer to the toil or labor that results in weariness or hardship. In the biblical context, "etseb" is used to describe the consequences of sin, the burdens of life, and the emotional pain experienced by individuals.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of "etseb" was closely tied to the human experience of suffering and the consequences of the fall. The toil and pain associated with "etseb" were seen as part of the human condition post-Eden, reflecting the brokenness of the world and the need for divine intervention and redemption. The Israelites understood "etseb" as a reminder of their dependence on God for relief and restoration.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I. <font class="hebrew2">עֶ֫צֶב</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>pain, hurt, toil</b></font>;
