Strong's Lexicon chelah: Sickness, disease Original Word: חֶלְאָה Word Origin: Derived from the root חָלָה (chalah), which means "to be weak, sick, or afflicted." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3554 νοσέω (noseo) - to be sick - G769 ἀσθένεια (astheneia) - weakness, infirmity Usage: The term "chelah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote physical sickness or disease. It often refers to a state of physical weakness or affliction, highlighting the human condition of vulnerability and the need for divine intervention or healing. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, sickness was often viewed not only as a physical ailment but also as a spiritual or moral issue. The Israelites believed that health and disease were closely tied to one's relationship with God. Sickness could be seen as a consequence of sin or disobedience, and healing was often sought through prayer, repentance, and adherence to God's commandments. The community played a significant role in caring for the sick, and priests were sometimes involved in diagnosing and declaring someone clean or healed.
