Strong's Lexicon nega: Plague, affliction, mark, stroke Original Word: נֶגַע Word Origin: Derived from the root נָגַע (naga), meaning "to touch" or "to strike." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3148 (μαστίξ, mastix) - often translated as "scourge" or "plague." - G3061 (λοιμός, loimos) - translated as "pestilence" or "plague." Usage: The Hebrew word "nega" primarily refers to a physical mark or affliction, often associated with disease or divine judgment. It is used in the context of skin diseases, such as leprosy, and other forms of physical afflictions. The term can also denote a broader sense of calamity or divine punishment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, physical afflictions like leprosy were not only medical conditions but also carried significant social and religious implications. Those afflicted were often isolated from the community to prevent contamination and were required to undergo specific rituals for purification as outlined in the Mosaic Law. The concept of "nega" reflects the belief that physical ailments could be manifestations of spiritual or moral issues, necessitating both physical and spiritual remedies.
