Context: אֲרוּכָה (arukah) is a noun that appears in the Hebrew Scriptures to describe the concept of healing or restoration. It is used in contexts where physical or metaphorical healing is needed, emphasizing the return to a state of wholeness. For example, in Jeremiah 8:22, the prophet laments the lack of healing for the people, asking, "Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then has the health of the daughter of my people not been restored?" (BSB). Here, אֲרוּכָה is translated as "health" or "healing," highlighting the desired restoration of the people to a state of well-being. The term underscores the biblical theme of God's ability to restore and heal, both physically and spiritually, and is often associated with divine intervention or the application of remedies that lead to recovery.
