Possible Meanings
There are only four Biblical instances of the noun תְּלָאָה. Three of the cases, Shemot 18:8, Bemidbar 20:14, Nehemyah 9:32, plainly speak of the תְּלָאָה which befell the Jewish people, and it is likely that the fourth verse, Eikhah 3:5, does so as well.1 However, the meaning of the word and the events to which it refers are not completely clear in any of the occurrences. The basic possibilities correspond to the two possible meanings of the verb לאה.
1. Weariness
- See Radak
2. Difficulties, hardship, travails
