While not directly related in meaning, the Greek term is included for reference in the broader context of biblical lexicons and concordances. The connection between Hebrew and Greek entries often lies in thematic or conceptual parallels rather than direct translation. Usage: The term טְחֹר is used in the context of physical afflictions, specifically referring to painful swellings or tumors. It is often associated with divine judgment or punishment. Context: The Hebrew word טְחֹר (t'chor) appears in the context of physical afflictions that are interpreted as divine retribution. In the Old Testament, these afflictions are described as painful and debilitating, often affecting sensitive areas of the body such as the anus or pudenda. The most notable occurrence of טְחֹר is found in the narrative of the Philistines and the Ark of the Covenant. In 1 Samuel 5:6, the Berean Standard Bible (BSB) states, "Now the hand of the LORD was heavy upon the people of Ashdod and its vicinity; He devastated them and afflicted them with tumors." This passage illustrates the use of טְחֹר as a form of divine punishment, emphasizing the severity and discomfort of the condition. The affliction of טְחֹר serves as a tangible manifestation of God's displeasure and power, compelling the Philistines to return the Ark to Israel. The term underscores the belief in a direct correlation between sin and physical suffering, a theme prevalent in the Hebrew Scriptures.
