Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is "τραῦμα" (trauma), Strong's Greek 5134, which also means wound or injury. Usage: The term "madqarah" refers to a wound or piercing, often in the context of a physical injury caused by a sharp object. It conveys the idea of a deep, penetrating wound, both literal and metaphorical. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, warfare and hunting were common, and the use of weapons like spears and swords was prevalent. The concept of piercing or wounding would have been well understood in this context, not only in physical terms but also in metaphorical or spiritual senses, such as the piercing of the heart or soul.
