Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar contexts is κραυγή (krauge), Strong's Greek #2906, which also means a loud cry or shout.

Usage: The term "tsevachah" refers to a loud cry or shout, often used in the context of a communal or public outcry. It can denote a cry for help, a shout of alarm, or a proclamation of distress. The word captures the intensity and urgency of the situation prompting the cry.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, communal expressions such as cries or shouts were significant in both religious and social contexts. They could be part of public lamentations, calls for divine intervention, or expressions of collective emotion during times of crisis. The act of crying out was often seen as a way to draw attention to a critical situation, whether in prayer to God or as a call to action among the people.
