Strong's Lexicon tsaaq: To cry out, to call for help, to shout Original Word: צָעַק Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2896 (kraugazo): To cry out, to shout - G994 (boao): To call, to cry out Usage: The Hebrew verb "tsaaq" primarily means to cry out or to call for help, often in a loud voice. It is used in the context of expressing distress, seeking assistance, or making a public proclamation. The term conveys a sense of urgency and desperation, often associated with prayer or a plea for divine intervention. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, crying out was a common response to distress or danger. It was a way to seek help from others or from God. The act of crying out was not only a vocal expression but also a demonstration of one's dependence on God. In a communal society, such cries would often prompt immediate action from those nearby, reflecting the interconnectedness of the community.
