Strong's is an index and starting point, not the final meaning of a word. Do not build doctrine from a gloss, root, or number. Test meaning by sentence, grammar, authorial usage, context, and the passage argument.
[תְּשׁוּקָה] noun feminine longing; — of woman for man, אֶלאִֿישֵׁח תְּשׁוּקָתֵח Gen 3:16 ( J ); of man for woman, אֲנִי לְדוֺדִי וְאֵלַי תְּשׁוּקָתוֺ Song 7:11 of beast to devour, figurative אֵלֶיךָ תְּשׁוּקָתוֺ Gen 4:7 ( J ). ( ᵐ5 ἀποστροφή Genesis, ἐπιστροφή Canticles, whence NesMarg. 6 proposes תְּשׁוּבָתֵךְ Gen 3:16, which BallHpt reads in all; but how explain the unusual and striking word in MT?).
