Strong's Lexicon Tseleq: Scar, wound Original Word: צֶלֶק Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to split or to wound Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for a scar or mark is "στίγμα" (stigma), found in Galatians 6:17, where Paul speaks of bearing the marks of Jesus on his body. Usage: The Hebrew word "tseleq" refers to a physical mark or scar left on the skin after a wound has healed. It is used to describe the visible evidence of past injury or trauma. In a broader sense, it can symbolize the lasting impact of experiences, both physical and emotional. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, physical scars were often seen as marks of experience and survival. They could be associated with battles, personal struggles, or divine encounters. Scars were sometimes viewed as honorable, reflecting a person's endurance and resilience. In a spiritual context, scars could also symbolize the healing and restoration process, indicating that while wounds may heal, they leave a lasting reminder of the journey.
