Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G860 (ἄγκος, agkos): Refers to a bend or a pain, often used metaphorically.
• G3148 (μαστίξ, mastix): Means a whip or scourge, and by extension, a disease or affliction.
• G3601 (οὐλή, oulē): Refers to a scar or mark left by a wound.
• G4127 (πληγή, plēgē): Means a blow, wound, or plague, often used in the context of divine judgment or affliction.

These Greek terms, while not direct translations, share thematic connections with נֶגַע (nega‘) in their usage to describe physical afflictions, marks, or divine punishments.

Usage: נֶגַע (nega‘) is used in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, often to describe physical afflictions or divine punishments. It can refer to skin diseases, such as leprosy, or other forms of divine retribution. The term is frequently associated with the laws of purity and impurity, particularly in the book of Leviticus.

Context: • נֶגַע (nega‘) appears numerous times in the Hebrew Bible, with significant occurrences in the Pentateuch, especially in Leviticus. It is often used to describe conditions that render a person or object ritually impure.
• In Leviticus 13-14, נֶגַע (nega‘) is extensively discussed in the context of skin diseases and mildew in clothing or houses. These chapters provide detailed instructions for the diagnosis and purification of such afflictions, emphasizing the role of the priest in determining the nature and severity of the נֶגַע.
• The term is also used metaphorically to describe divine punishment or judgment. For example, in Genesis 12:17, the Lord afflicts Pharaoh and his household with great plagues (נְגָעִים, negā‘im) because of Sarai, Abram's wife.
• In 1 Kings 8:37-38, during Solomon's prayer of dedication for the temple, he mentions various calamities, including נֶגַע (nega‘), as situations where the people might turn to God in prayer for relief and forgiveness.
• The concept of נֶגַע (nega‘) underscores the biblical themes of holiness, purity, and the consequences of sin, illustrating the need for divine intervention and cleansing.
