Strong's Lexicon rapha: To heal, to cure, to restore Original Word: רָפָא Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: rapha' Pronunciation: rah-fah' Phonetic Spelling: (raw-faw') Definition: To heal, to cure, to restore Meaning: to mend, to cure Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2390 (ἰάομαι, iaomai) - to heal, cure - G2323 (θεραπεύω, therapeuō) - to serve, to heal Usage: The Hebrew verb "rapha" primarily means "to heal" or "to restore to health." It is used in the context of physical healing, emotional restoration, and spiritual renewal. The term can refer to the healing of individuals, nations, or even the land. It conveys the idea of making whole or restoring to an original state of well-being. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, healing was often seen as a divine act, with God being the ultimate healer. The Israelites believed that physical ailments could be linked to spiritual conditions, and thus, healing was not only a physical restoration but also a spiritual renewal. Priests and prophets often played roles in the healing process, and rituals or prayers were sometimes involved. The concept of God as a healer is deeply embedded in the covenant relationship between God and His people, where obedience to God's commandments was associated with health and prosperity.
