In the context of biblical literature, the term "strained" is not directly used in the Berean Standard Bible . However, the concept of being strained or under strain can be understood through various passages that describe situations of tension, difficulty, or pressure, both physically and spiritually.
Physical StrainPhysical strain is often depicted in the Bible through the experiences of individuals who endure hardship or labor. For example, the Israelites in Egypt faced severe physical strain under the oppressive rule of Pharaoh.
Exodus 1:13-14 states, "They worked the Israelites ruthlessly and made their lives bitter with hard labor in brick and mortar and with all kinds of work in the fields; in all their hard labor, the Egyptians used them
