Shortness (of breath/spirit), impatience resulting from oppression or distress
A powerful phrase describing Israel's state in Egypt: 'shortness of spirit' preventing them from hearing Moses' message of deliverance. Crushing labor had literally taken their breath away - they couldn't breathe deeply enough to hope. The phrase combines physical exhaustion and psychological collapse. Oppression doesn't just burden the body but constricts the spirit, making even good news unbearable. This explains why Israel, despite God's promises through Moses, couldn't respond - their suffering had squeezed out the capacity for faith. Sometimes deliverance must overcome not just external bondage but internal despair.

1. sense 1 — Appears only in Exodus 6:9 explaining why Israel couldn't hear Moses despite God's promises. Spanish uses 'cortedad de' (shortness of), English parallels this with 'impatience' or 'discouragement.' The phrase literally means 'from shortness of spirit/breath,' suggesting both physical exhaustion and psychological inability to hope. The narrative shows how severe oppression damages not just bodies but souls, making even liberation hard to receive. 1×
