Strong's Lexicon shava: To cry out, to call for help Original Word: שָׁוַע Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G994 (boao): To cry out, to shout - G3106 (krazo): To cry out, to call aloud Usage: The Hebrew verb "shava" primarily means to cry out or call for help, often in a context of distress or need. It conveys a sense of urgency and desperation, typically directed towards God or a figure of authority. This term is used in the Hebrew Bible to express a plea for divine intervention or assistance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, crying out to God was a common practice during times of trouble or oppression.

This practice is reflected in various biblical narratives where individuals or communities seek God's help in moments of crisis.
