Strong's Lexicon shechin: Boil, sore, inflammation Original Word: שְׁחִין Word Origin: Derived from an unused root probably meaning to be hot or inflamed. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament, the concept of physical affliction as a form of divine testing or judgment can be related to Greek terms for disease or suffering, such as "νόσος" (nosos - disease) or "πάθος" (pathos - suffering). Usage: The term "shechin" refers to a physical affliction characterized by painful, inflamed sores or boils. It is often used in the context of divine judgment or testing, where such afflictions are seen as a manifestation of God's displeasure or as a trial of faith. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, physical ailments like boils were often viewed as signs of divine displeasure or punishment. The Israelites, like their neighbors, would have understood such afflictions within a theological framework, interpreting them as either a direct consequence of sin or as a test of faithfulness. Medical treatments were limited, and such conditions could lead to social isolation due to ritual impurity laws.
