Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root חָלָה (chalah), which means "to be weak, sick, or afflicted."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G266 (ἁμαρτία • hamartia): While primarily meaning "sin," this term can be related to חֱלִי (cheli) in the sense that sin is often seen as a spiritual malady or affliction.
• G4192 (πονηρία • poneria): This term refers to "wickedness" or "evil," which can be seen as a form of moral or spiritual calamity.
• G5134 (τραῦμα • trauma): Meaning "wound" or "injury," this term aligns with the physical aspect of חֱלִי (cheli) as a malady or affliction.

In summary, חֱלִי (cheli) is a multifaceted term that captures the breadth of human suffering, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual, and highlights the biblical narrative of God's redemptive power over such afflictions.

Usage: The word חֱלִי (cheli) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe various forms of affliction, whether they be physical illnesses or emotional and spiritual troubles. It is often used in contexts where individuals or communities are experiencing significant distress or suffering.

Context: • Occurrences in the Hebrew Bible: The term חֱלִי (cheli) appears in several passages throughout the Old Testament, often in poetic or prophetic literature. It is used to describe the afflictions of individuals, such as in the lamentations of Job, or the collective suffering of the people of Israel.
• Examples in Scripture:
• In Deuteronomy 7:15, the term is used to describe the diseases that God will remove from Israel: "And the LORD will remove from you all sickness (חֱלִי), and He will not lay upon you any of the terrible diseases you knew in Egypt."
• In Isaiah 53:3, it is part of the description of the suffering servant: "He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief (חֱלִי)."
• Theological Implications: The use of חֱלִי (cheli) in the Hebrew Bible often underscores the reality of human suffering and the need for divine intervention and healing. It reflects the broader biblical theme of God's sovereignty over health and sickness and His power to heal and restore.
• Cultural Context: In ancient Israel, sickness was often viewed not only as a physical ailment but also as a spiritual or moral issue. The presence of חֱלִי (cheli) could be seen as a sign of divine displeasure or a call to repentance and faith.
