Transliteration:tsara`
Pronunciation:tsaw-raw'

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: -G2347 (θλῖψις, thlipsis): Often translated as "tribulation" or "affliction," this Greek word carries a similar meaning of pressure or distress.

Usage:The Hebrew word "tsara" is used to describe situations of distress, trouble, or adversity. It often conveys a sense of being in a tight or narrow place, reflecting the emotional or physical pressure experienced during times of hardship. In the Old Testament, "tsara" is frequently used to describe the trials faced by individuals or the nation of Israel, emphasizing the need for divine intervention and deliverance.

Cultural and Historical Background:In ancient Israel, the concept of "tsara" was deeply connected to the covenant relationship between God and His people. Distress and adversity were often seen as consequences of disobedience or as tests of faith. The Israelites believed that turning to God in times of "tsara" would bring deliverance and restoration. This understanding is rooted in the covenant promises and the history of God's faithfulness to His people.
