צְעָקָה

Genesis 18:21 הַכְּצַעֲקָתָ֛הּ ¿ according to outcry its

I will go down to see if their actions fully justify the outcry that has reached Me. If not, I will find out.”

Here: Four parts make up one word: a question marker ('whether'), 'according to', 'outcry', and 'her'. Literally: 'whether according to her outcry'. 'Her' is the city of Sodom, since Hebrew treats cities as feminine. The outcry is the scream of people being wronged, appealing for help and justice.

Genesis 19:13 צַעֲקָתָם֙ outcry their

because we are about to destroy this place. For the outcry to the LORD against its people is so great that He has sent us to destroy it.”

Genesis 27:34 צְעָקָ֔ה a cry

Exodus 3:7 צַעֲקָתָ֤ם cry of distress their

The LORD said, “I have indeed seen the affliction of My people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their oppressors, and I am aware of their sufferings.

Here: The loud cry of people being wronged, a cry for help and for justice, not simply weeping. It picks up Exod 2:23, where their cry "went up to God."

Exodus 3:9 צַעֲקַ֥ת [the] cry of distress of

And now the cry of the Israelites has reached Me, and I have seen how severely the Egyptians are oppressing them.

Here: A loud scream for help from people being wronged, the cry raised to a judge or king for justice. It is the same word as the 'outcry' against Sodom (Gen 18:20–21).

Exodus 11:6 צְעָקָ֥ה a cry

Then a great cry will go out over all the land of Egypt. Such an outcry has never been heard before and will never be heard again.

Here: A loud scream of anguish, the shout of people in deep trouble. This is the same word Exodus used for Israel's cry under slavery (3:7, 9). Now Egypt is the one crying out.

Exodus 12:30 צְעָקָ֥ה a cry

During the night Pharaoh got up—he and all his officials and all the Egyptians—and there was loud wailing in Egypt; for there was no house without someone dead.

Exodus 22:23 צַעֲקָתֽוֹ׃ cry of distress his

If you do mistreat them, and they cry out to Me in distress, I will surely hear their cry.

Here: The noun from the same root: 'his outcry', meaning the formal complaint of someone wronged. It is the word used for the 'outcry' against Sodom (Gen 18:20–21) and Israel's 'cry' in Egypt (Exod 3:7, 9).

1 Samuel 4:14 הַצְּעָקָ֔ה the outcry

“At this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you are to anoint him ruler over My people Israel; he will save them from the hand of the Philistines. For I have looked upon My people, because their cry has come to Me.”

Here: 'Its outcry', meaning the people's. Hebrew treats the people as one body, hence 'its'. This is the shout of someone being wronged, calling for help or justice.

Nehemiah 5:1 צַעֲקַ֥ת <the> cry of distress of

About that time there was a great outcry from the people and their wives against their fellow Jews.

Job 27:9 הַֽ֭צַעֲקָתוֹ ¿ cry his

Will God hear his cry when distress comes upon him?

Here: The prefix ha- turns the sentence into a question, and it sits on the very first word: 'His outcry? Will God hear it?' Putting the cry first puts the weight on it. A ṣeʿāqâ is a loud shout for rescue, the kind a victim raises when attacked, not quiet weeping.

Job 34:28 צַֽעֲקַת־ וְצַעֲקַ֖ת [the] outcry of, and [the] outcry of

They caused the cry of the poor to come before Him, and He heard the outcry of the afflicted.

Here: "The outcry of": the shout of a wronged person calling for someone to step in, the same word used for the cry from Sodom and from enslaved Israel. It is a public appeal for justice, not quiet weeping.

Psalm 9:12 צַעֲקַ֥ת [the] cry of distress of

For the Avenger of bloodshed remembers; He does not ignore the cry of the afflicted.

Here: The scream of someone being wronged, often a public appeal for justice. It is the word for the outcry against Sodom (Genesis 18:20–21) and the cry of Israel in Egypt (Exodus 3:7, 9).

Isaiah 5:7 צְעָקָֽה׃ ס an outcry

For the vineyard of the LORD of Hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are the plant of His delight. He looked for justice, but saw bloodshed; for righteousness, but heard a cry of distress.

Here: 'An outcry': the scream of victims calling for help and appealing for a hearing. It differs from tsedaqah by a single letter. Instead of righteousness, God hears the cry of the people who were wronged.

Jeremiah 25:36 צַעֲקַ֣ת [the] cry of distress of

Hear the cry of the shepherds, the wailing of the leaders of the flock, for the LORD is destroying their pasture.
