Strong's Lexicon gahah: To heal, to cure Original Word: גָּהָה Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: gahah Pronunciation: gah-hah Phonetic Spelling: (gaw-haw') Definition: to remove Meaning: To remove, specifically in the context of healing or alleviating Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for גָּהָה in the Strong's Concordance, as the concept of healing and removal of affliction is expressed through various Greek terms in the New Testament, such as θεραπεύω (therapeuō • Strong's Greek 2323) meaning "to heal" or "to cure." Usage: This verb is used in the context of healing or removing affliction, often implying a restoration to a previous state of health or wholeness. Context: • The Hebrew verb גָּהָה (gahah) is a primitive root that conveys the action of removing or alleviating, particularly in the context of healing. It is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the process of healing or the removal of affliction, suggesting a return to a state of well-being. The term is relatively rare in the biblical text, indicating a specific and deliberate action of restoration. • In the Berean Standard Bible, the concept of healing is often associated with divine intervention, where God is depicted as the ultimate healer who removes sickness and restores health. This aligns with the broader biblical theme of God as a restorer and redeemer, who not only heals physical ailments but also addresses spiritual and emotional wounds. • The use of גָּהָה in the biblical text underscores the holistic nature of healing in the Hebrew worldview, where physical, spiritual, and communal well-being are interconnected. The act of healing is not merely a physical remedy but a comprehensive restoration that encompasses all aspects of life.
