The word ἱδρώς (hidrōs) in Greek translates to "sweat" in English. This is a straightforward term used to describe the bodily secretions that occur when the body temperature rises, often due to physical exertion or emotional stress. The fact that ἱδрώς appears only once in the Bible suggests that it is a unique expression used to convey a specific idea rather than a common descriptive device. Given its singular appearance, it's difficult to establish the range of usage or common applications for this word. However, in its single occurrence, ἱδρώς likely serves to add a sense of vulnerability or human frailty.
