Strong's Lexicon negeph: Plague, defeat, blow, calamity Original Word: נֶגֶף Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: negeph Pronunciation: neh'-ghef Phonetic Spelling: (neh'-ghef) Definition: a trip, an infliction Meaning: The term נֶגֶף (negef) primarily refers to a "trip" or "infliction." It is often used in the context of a plague or calamity that befalls a group of people, typically as a form of divine judgment or punishment. Word Origin: Derived from the root verb נָגַף (nagaph), which means "to strike" or "to smite." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G4127 (πληγή, plēgē): This Greek term is often translated as "plague" or "blow" and is used in the New Testament to describe similar divine judgments or afflictions. • G4348 (προσκόπτω, proskoptō): This term means "to stumble" or "to strike against," reflecting the idea of a trip or obstacle. • G4431 (πτωμα, ptōma): This word refers to a "fall" or "ruin," aligning with the concept of a calamity or infliction. These Greek terms provide a New Testament parallel to the Hebrew concept of נֶגֶף (negef), illustrating the continuity of the theme of divine judgment and the consequences of disobedience across both Testaments. Usage: The word נֶגֶף (negef) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe instances of plague or affliction that result in widespread suffering or death. It is often associated with divine retribution or as a consequence of disobedience to God's commands. Context: נֶגֶף (negef) appears in several key passages within the Hebrew Bible, illustrating its role as a tool of divine judgment. For example, in Exodus 12:13, the term is used to describe the plague that God sent upon Egypt, sparing the Israelites who marked their doorposts with the blood of the Passover lamb: "The blood on the houses where you are staying will distinguish them; when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No plague will fall on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt" (BSB). In Numbers 16:46-50, נֶגֶף (negef) is used to describe the plague that broke out among the Israelites following Korah's rebellion. Moses instructed Aaron to make atonement for the people, and the plague was halted: "Then Moses said to Aaron, 'Take your censer, put incense in it, along with fire from the altar, and hurry to the assembly to make atonement for them. Wrath has come out from the LORD; the plague has begun.'" The term is also found in 2 Samuel 24:21, where David seeks to avert a plague that has been sent as a punishment for his census of Israel: "Araunah said, 'Why has my lord the king come to his servant?' 'To buy your threshing floor,' David replied, 'so that I can build an altar to the LORD, that the plague on the people may be halted.'" These examples underscore the concept of נֶגֶף (negef) as a manifestation of divine displeasure, often requiring atonement or intercession to be lifted.
