It conveys the idea of healing or restoration, both physically and metaphorically. Word Origin: Derived from the root רָפָא (rapha), which means "to heal" or "to cure." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2386 (ἰατρεῖον, iatreion): Refers to a place of healing or a medical facility. • G2392 (ἰάομαι, iaomai): Means "to heal" or "to cure," often used in the New Testament to describe Jesus' healing miracles. • G2395 (ἰατρός, iatros): Refers to a physician or healer, highlighting the role of individuals who provide medical care. The concept of מַרְפֵא in the Hebrew Bible underscores the integral role of healing in the divine-human relationship, emphasizing God's desire for the well-being and restoration of His people. Usage: The word מַרְפֵא is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe physical healing, as well as spiritual or emotional restoration. It is often associated with the concept of peace and well-being. Context: • מַרְפֵא (marpe') appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, emphasizing the importance of healing and restoration in the biblical narrative. It is used to describe the healing of physical ailments, as seen in passages like Proverbs 12:18, "The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing (מַרְפֵא)." This highlights the power of words to bring about healing and restoration. • The term also appears in a metaphorical sense, referring to the healing of nations or communities. For example, in Jeremiah 33:6, God promises, "Nevertheless, I will bring to it health and healing (מַרְפֵא), and I will heal them and reveal to them an abundance of peace and truth." • מַרְפֵא is often associated with divine intervention, where God is depicted as the ultimate healer who provides both physical and spiritual restoration. This is evident in passages like Malachi 4:2, "But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing (מַרְפֵא) in its wings." • The concept of מַרְפֵא extends beyond individual healing to encompass societal and communal restoration, reflecting the holistic nature of biblical healing.
