Strong's Lexicon nekeh: Lame, injured, crippled Original Word: נֵכֶה Word Origin: Derived from the root נכה (nakah), which means "to smite" or "to strike." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is χωλός (G5560 - cholos), which also means "lame" or "crippled." Usage: The Hebrew word "nekeh" is used to describe someone who is physically impaired, specifically in terms of being lame or crippled. It often refers to individuals who have suffered an injury or have a congenital condition that affects their mobility. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, physical disabilities were often seen as significant challenges, both socially and economically. Those who were "nekeh" might have been marginalized or dependent on family and community support. However, the Hebrew Scriptures emphasize compassion and care for the disabled, reflecting God's concern for all individuals regardless of their physical condition.
