Strong's Lexicon makkah or makkeh: Wound, blow, plague, slaughter Original Word: מַכָּה Word Origin: Derived from the root נָכָה (nakah), meaning "to strike" or "to smite." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4127 (πληγή, plēgē): Often used in the Septuagint and New Testament to denote a blow, wound, or plague, similar to the Hebrew "makkah." Usage: The Hebrew word "makkah" primarily refers to a physical wound or blow, often inflicted as a result of violence or divine judgment. It can also denote a plague or calamity, emphasizing the severity and impact of the affliction. In the context of warfare or divine retribution, "makkah" signifies the destructive power of God's judgment or the consequences of human conflict. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, physical wounds and plagues were often seen as manifestations of divine displeasure or judgment. The concept of "makkah" is deeply rooted in the covenantal relationship between God and His people, where obedience brought blessings and disobedience resulted in curses, including physical afflictions. The term is used in various contexts, from personal injuries to national calamities, reflecting the holistic view of health and divine favor in the Hebrew Bible.
