Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance: abate, cease, consume, draw toward evening, fail, be faint, be wax feeble, forsake.
A primitive root; to slacken (in many applications, literal or figurative) — abate, cease, consume, draw (toward evening), fail, (be) faint, be (wax) feeble, forsake, idle, leave, let alone (go, down), (be) slack, stay, be still, be slothful, (be) weak(-en).
Strong’s 7503 appears about forty-six times, touching virtually every period of Old Testament history—from the wilderness wanderings (Deuteronomy) through the monarchy (Samuel, Kings, Chronicles), the exile (Jeremiah), and the post-exilic era (Nehemiah, Zephaniah). The contexts cluster around two poles: (1) physical or emotional weakening and (2) deliberate refraining or letting go. Together they trace a moral and spiritual polarity: covenant faithfulness marked by steadfastness versus covenant unfaithfulness marked by laxity or faint-heartedness.
Psalm 46:10 stands as the classic invitation: “Be still, and know that I am God.” Here the verb points to a quieted heart that ceases striving, acknowledges God’s sovereignty, and finds security in His exaltation among the nations.
