Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root חָבַר (chabar), meaning "to join" or "to bind."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G3468 (μώλωψ, molops): This Greek term is used in the New Testament to convey a similar meaning of "bruise" or "wound." It appears in 1 Peter 2:24, which echoes the language of Isaiah 53:5: "He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By His wounds you have been healed." This connection highlights the continuity between the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures in expressing the concept of redemptive suffering.

Usage: The word חַבּוּרָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe physical injuries, often in the context of punishment or suffering. It appears in poetic and prophetic literature to symbolize affliction or chastisement.

Context: Occurrences in Scripture: The term חַבּוּרָה is found in several key passages within the Hebrew Bible. Notably, it appears in Isaiah 1:6, where it describes the physical and spiritual condition of Israel: "From the sole of the foot even to the head there is no soundness in it, only wounds and welts and festering sores; they have not been cleansed or bandaged or soothed with oil." This imagery underscores the nation's pervasive sin and need for healing.
Theological Significance: In Isaiah 53:5, חַבּוּרָה is used in the context of the Suffering Servant: "But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed." Here, the term is translated as "stripes" and is central to the understanding of vicarious suffering and atonement. The passage is often interpreted as a prophetic reference to the redemptive work of the Messiah.
Cultural Context: In ancient Near Eastern culture, physical wounds and bruises were often seen as manifestations of divine judgment or discipline. The use of חַבּוּרָה in the Hebrew Bible reflects this cultural understanding, while also pointing to the hope of restoration and healing through divine intervention.
