Strong's Lexicon tuphlos: Blind Original Word: τυφλός Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root τυφ- (tuph-), which is related to the concept of smoke or obscurity, indicating a lack of sight or clarity. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - עִוֵּר (ivver): Often used in the Old Testament to describe physical blindness, as seen in passages like Deuteronomy 27:18 and Isaiah 42:7. Usage: The Greek word "tuphlos" primarily refers to physical blindness, the condition of being unable to see. It is also used metaphorically in the New Testament to describe spiritual blindness or a lack of understanding and insight, particularly in relation to spiritual truths and the teachings of Jesus Christ. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, blindness was a common affliction, often resulting in social marginalization and economic hardship. The blind were frequently dependent on alms and were considered among the most vulnerable in society. In Jewish culture, blindness was sometimes viewed as a consequence of sin, either of the individual or their ancestors. However, Jesus' ministry challenged these perceptions, emphasizing compassion and healing.
