PAIN — a body's ache, the hurt of a wound, not sadness in the abstract; from ka'av, to be in pain. It is the noun in Ecclesiastes' 'whoever adds knowledge adds pain' (1:18), the cry of Lamentations 1:12 ('is there any pain like my pain?'), and — in the plural — the phrase behind Isaiah 53:3, ish makh'ovot, 'a man of sorrows.' English versions vary it ('sorrow,' 'grief,' 'suffering'); the Hebrew is one concrete word. → first discussed at Lamentations 1:12
