Groaning Groan

Groaning Groan

'''A — 1: ἐμβριμάομαι (Strong'S #1690 — Verb — embrimaomai — em-brim-ah'-om-ahee )

from en, "in," and brime, "strength," is rendered "groaned" in  John 11:33 (preferable to the Rv marg., "He had indignation"); so in   John 11:38 . The Lord was deeply moved doubtless with the combination of circumstances, present and in the immediate future. Indignation does not here seem to express His feelings. See Charge.

'''A — 2: στενάζω (Strong'S #4727 — Verb — stenazo — sten-ad'-zo )

see Grieve , B, No. 3.

'''A — 3: συστενάζω (Strong'S #4959 — Verb — sustenazo — soos-ten-ad'-zo )

"to groan together" (sun, "with," and No. 2) is used of the Creation in  Romans 8:22 . In  Romans 8:23 , No. 2 is used.

'''B — 1: στεναγμός (Strong'S #4726 — Noun Masculine — stenagmos — sten-ag-mos' )

akin to A, No. 2, is used in  Acts 7:34 , in a quotation from  Exodus 3:7 , but not from the Sept., which there has krauge, "a cry;" the word is used, however, in  Exodus 2:24; in  Romans 8:26 , in the plural, of the intercessory groanings of the Holy Spirit.
