Strong's Lexicon tseaqah: Cry, outcry, cry for help Original Word: צַעֲקָה Word Origin: Derived from the root צָעַק (tsa'aq), meaning "to cry out" or "to call for help." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2906 (krauge): A cry, outcry, or clamor. - G994 (boao): To cry out, to call aloud. Usage: The Hebrew word "tseaqah" refers to a loud cry or outcry, often associated with distress, anguish, or a plea for help. It is used in the context of individuals or groups expressing deep emotional pain or calling out to God in times of trouble. The term can also denote a collective outcry against injustice or oppression. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, vocal expressions of emotion were common, especially in times of distress or need. Crying out was a way to seek divine intervention or to draw attention to one's plight. The communal aspect of "tseaqah" reflects the societal norms of collective responsibility and support. In a historical context, cries for help were often directed towards God, who was seen as the ultimate deliverer and protector of His people.
