Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word "ὕδωρ" (hydor), meaning "water."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "ὑδρωπικός" in the Old Testament, as the specific condition of dropsy is not explicitly mentioned. However, the concept of illness and healing is prevalent, with various terms used to describe sickness and divine intervention for healing. Some related Hebrew words include "חָלָה" (chalah, Strong's 2470) meaning "to be sick" and "רָפָא" (rapha, Strong's 7495) meaning "to heal." These terms reflect the broader biblical theme of God's concern for the physical and spiritual well-being of His people. Usage: The word "ὑδρωπικός" is used in the New Testament to describe a person afflicted with dropsy. It appears in the context of Jesus' healing miracles. Context: The term "ὑδρωπικός" is found in the New Testament in the Gospel of Luke. In Luke 14:2, Jesus encounters a man suffering from dropsy while dining at the house of a prominent Pharisee on the Sabbath. The presence of this man at the meal provides an opportunity for Jesus to demonstrate His compassion and authority over physical ailments, as well as to challenge the prevailing interpretations of Sabbath law. Jesus poses a question to the Pharisees and experts in the law about the legality of healing on the Sabbath, highlighting the tension between legalistic interpretations and the spirit of the law, which prioritizes mercy and compassion. Jesus then heals the man, illustrating His power and the Kingdom of God's breaking into the world through acts of healing and restoration. This account underscores the theme of Jesus' ministry, which often involved challenging societal norms and religious practices to reveal the heart of God's law.
