Strong's Lexicon chólos: Lame Original Word: χωλός Word Origin: Derived from the base of χολή (cholē), meaning "bile" or "gall," which can imply bitterness or a physical ailment. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in the Old Testament is פִּסֵּחַ (pisseach), Strong's Hebrew 6455, which also means "lame" or "crippled." Usage: The term "chólos" is used in the New Testament to describe someone who is physically lame or crippled, unable to walk properly due to a disability or injury. It is often used in the context of miraculous healings performed by Jesus and the apostles, highlighting the power of God to restore physical wholeness. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, being lame was often associated with social and economic disadvantage. Those who were lame were frequently marginalized and dependent on others for support. In Jewish culture, physical imperfections could also carry religious implications, as those with such conditions were often excluded from certain religious rites and temple services. The healing of the lame by Jesus and His disciples not only restored physical ability but also reintegrated individuals into the community and religious life.
