Strong's Lexicon gehah: Healing, cure Original Word: גֵּהָה Word Origin: Derived from a root verb גָּהָה (gahah), which means "to remove" or "to heal." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with healing is ἴασις (iasis), Strong's Greek #2390, which also means healing or cure. This term is used in the New Testament to describe the healing miracles of Jesus, highlighting the continuity of God's healing work from the Old to the New Testament. Usage: The term "gehah" refers to the concept of healing or a cure, often in a physical or spiritual sense. It is used to describe the process of restoration or recovery from illness or affliction. In the biblical context, it can also imply a broader sense of deliverance or salvation, where God is seen as the ultimate healer. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, health and healing were deeply intertwined with spiritual beliefs. Illness was often seen as a consequence of sin or disobedience, and healing was associated with divine intervention. The Hebrew culture placed a strong emphasis on community and ritual purity, and healing was not only a physical restoration but also a reintegration into the community and religious life. Priests and prophets often played roles in the healing process, acting as intermediaries between God and the people.
