Definition: "Shig," also known as "sigh," is a term used in the Bible to describe one's distress, often with a sense of great sorrow or distress. It occurs several times in the Old Testament, particularly in Isaiah 57:1-2 and Joel 2:4. In this context, 'shig' typically refers to a feeling of great grief, despair, or severe pain from suffering or loss. The Hebrew word shig can mean "to feel sorry for" or "to be so sorrowful that one cannot help but be moved." It also implies the person is very much in need and needs help. The concept of shig reflects a deep human sense of compassion, which is often reflected in actions that may seem trivial to others. In other words, it shows us how people can respond to situations with empathy or genuine concern for those around them.
