Berean Strong's Lexicon madveh: Sickness, disease Original Word: מַדְוֶה Word Origin: Derived from the root דָּוָה (dawah), meaning "to be sick" or "to be weak." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "madveh" is νόσος (nosos), Strong's Greek #3554, which also means disease or sickness. Usage: The term "madveh" refers to a state of physical illness or disease. It is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe conditions of physical affliction, often seen as a consequence of sin or disobedience to God's commandments. The word emphasizes the debilitating nature of sickness and its impact on the human condition. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, sickness was often viewed through a theological lens. Health was considered a blessing from God, while illness could be seen as a sign of divine displeasure or a call to repentance. The Israelites had various laws and rituals concerning cleanliness and health, as outlined in the Torah, which were intended to prevent disease and promote communal well-being. Healing was sought through prayer, repentance, and sometimes through the intervention of prophets or priests.
