Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּסַח (pasach), which means "to limp" or "to be lame."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The corresponding Greek term in the New Testament is χωλός (G5560), which also means "lame" or "crippled." This term is used in similar contexts, such as in Matthew 11:5, where Jesus' healing of the lame is a sign of the Messianic age. The Greek term reflects the continuation of the theme of healing and restoration found in the Hebrew Scriptures.

Usage: The word פִסֵּחַ is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe individuals who are physically impaired in their ability to walk. It is often used in contexts that highlight physical imperfections or disabilities.

Context: • The term פִסֵּחַ appears in several Old Testament passages, often in lists of those who are excluded from certain activities or places due to physical imperfections. For example, in Leviticus 21:18, it is mentioned among the physical defects that disqualify a descendant of Aaron from offering sacrifices. In 2 Samuel 5:8, David speaks of the "lame and the blind" as being unwelcome in the house, reflecting cultural attitudes towards physical disabilities at the time.
• The word is also used in prophetic literature to symbolize weakness or vulnerability. In Isaiah 35:6, the promise of the lame leaping like a deer is part of a vision of restoration and healing, indicating a future time of divine intervention and blessing.
• The term underscores the biblical theme of God's concern for the marginalized and the promise of restoration and healing for those who are physically impaired.
