Context: • The Hebrew word תַּחֲלוּא appears in the Old Testament to describe various forms of physical maladies or diseases. It is a noun that conveys the idea of an affliction that impacts the health and well-being of an individual. The root חָלָה (chalah) from which it is derived is frequently used in the Hebrew Bible to describe states of illness or weakness, both physical and metaphorical.
• In the context of the Hebrew Scriptures, maladies were often seen as conditions that could be brought upon individuals as a result of sin or as a test of faith. The understanding of disease in the ancient Near Eastern context was closely tied to spiritual and moral conditions, and healing was often sought through both medical and religious means.
• The term תַּחֲלוּא is not extensively used in the Hebrew Bible, but its presence underscores the reality of physical suffering in the human experience and the need for divine intervention and healing.
