From H3510 (ka'ab). Physical pain, mental anguish, or deep sorrow. Used of human suffering and the Messiah's prophetic suffering.
Mak'ob reaches its summit in Isaiah 53:3-4: the Suffering Servant is 'a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.' The Messiah intimately knows pain β not theoretical awareness but experiential identification. The Bible's honest engagement with suffering is captured in this word.
