Strong's Lexicon tachalu: Sickness, disease, affliction Original Word: תַּחֲלוּא Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: tachaluw' Pronunciation: tah-khah-loo Phonetic Spelling: (takh-al-oo') Definition: Sickness, disease, affliction Meaning: a malady Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root חָלָה (chalah), which means "to be weak, sick, or afflicted." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible) for similar concepts is "νόσος" (nosos), which also means disease or sickness. Strong's Greek Dictionary entries related to this concept include G3554 (nosos). Usage: The term "tachalu" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a state of physical illness or affliction. It often conveys the idea of a debilitating condition that affects an individual's health and well-being. The word can also imply a spiritual or moral weakness, reflecting the broader Hebrew understanding of health as encompassing both physical and spiritual dimensions. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, sickness was often seen as a consequence of sin or a test of faith. The Israelites believed that God had the power to heal and that obedience to His commandments could lead to health and prosperity. Conversely, disobedience could result in illness and suffering. The concept of "tachalu" would have been understood within this framework, where physical health was closely linked to spiritual and communal well-being.
