Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root דָּוָה (dawah), which means to be sick or unwell.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3554: νοσέω (noseo) • to be sick, to be ill.
• G3601: νόσος (nosos) • disease, sickness.

These Greek terms are used in the New Testament to describe physical ailments and are conceptually related to the Hebrew מַדְוֶה, as they both address the condition of being unwell and the need for healing. The New Testament often presents sickness as an opportunity for demonstrating faith and the power of Jesus' healing ministry.

Usage: This word is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote physical illness or disease. It appears in contexts where physical afflictions are described, often as a consequence of disobedience or as a condition from which one seeks healing.

Context: מַדְוֶה (madveh) is a term that appears in the Hebrew Scriptures to describe a state of physical ailment or disease. It is used in Deuteronomy 7:15, where it is stated, "The LORD will remove from you all sickness, and He will not lay upon you any of the terrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but He will inflict them on all who hate you." This passage highlights the covenantal promise of health and protection from diseases for those who are obedient to God's commandments. The term underscores the belief in divine intervention in matters of health, where sickness can be both a test and a consequence of moral and spiritual failings. The use of מַדְוֶה in the Hebrew Bible reflects the ancient understanding of disease as not merely a physical condition but also a spiritual and communal concern.
