Strong's Lexicon puressó: To have a fever, to be feverish Original Word: πυρέσσω Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word πυρετός (puretós), meaning "fever." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "puressó," the concept of fever and illness can be related to Hebrew terms for sickness, such as חֹלִי (choli - H2483), meaning "sickness" or "disease." Usage: The verb "puressó" is used in the New Testament to describe the condition of having a fever. It is a term that indicates a state of physical ailment, specifically related to elevated body temperature, which was often seen as a serious condition in ancient times due to the lack of modern medical treatments. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, fever was a common and often dangerous condition due to the lack of advanced medical knowledge and treatments. Fevers were sometimes attributed to spiritual or supernatural causes, and healing was sought through both medical and religious means. In the context of the New Testament, Jesus' ability to heal those with fevers was a demonstration of His divine authority and compassion.
