Groan, Groaning

from en, "in," and brime, "strength," is rendered "groaned" in Joh 11:33 (preferable to the RV marg., "He had indignation"); so in Joh 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.

see GRIEVE, B, No. 3.

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

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