Strong's Lexicon aruchah: Healing, restoration, health Original Word: אֲרוּכָה Word Origin: Derived from the root אָרַךְ (arak), meaning "to prolong" or "to make long." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "aruchah," the concept of healing is often expressed in the New Testament with words like ἴασις (iasis, Strong's G2390) and θεραπεία (therapeia, Strong's G2322), both of which relate to healing and restoration. Usage: The Hebrew word "aruchah" primarily refers to the concept of healing or restoration, often in a physical or spiritual sense. It conveys the idea of something being made whole or restored to its original state. In the context of the Bible, it is frequently used to describe the healing of wounds or the restoration of health. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, health and healing were seen as blessings from God, and illness was often viewed as a consequence of sin or disobedience. The concept of "aruchah" would have been understood not only in terms of physical healing but also as a metaphor for spiritual renewal and divine favor. The Israelites believed that God was the ultimate healer, and they often sought His intervention for restoration and wholeness.
