Berean Strong's Lexicon choli: Sickness, disease, illness Original Word: חֳלִי Word Origin: Derived from the root חָלָה (chalah), which means "to be weak, sick, or afflicted." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3554 (nosos): Refers to disease or sickness in the New Testament. - G769 (astheneia): Often translated as weakness or infirmity, used in contexts of physical or spiritual weakness. Usage: The Hebrew word "choli" primarily refers to physical sickness or disease. It is used in the Old Testament to describe various forms of illness, both literal and metaphorical. The term can also imply a state of weakness or affliction, often used to describe the condition of individuals or nations experiencing divine judgment or personal suffering. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, sickness was often viewed in a spiritual context, sometimes seen as a consequence of sin or disobedience to God. The Israelites believed in a close connection between physical health and spiritual well-being. Priests and prophets played a role in diagnosing and addressing illnesses, often through prayer, sacrifice, or adherence to the Law. Healing was seen as a sign of God's favor and mercy.
