It can also denote a defeat or a blow, particularly in a military context. The term is used to describe events where a large number of people are struck down, often as a result of disobedience to God or as a consequence of sin.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, plagues and calamities were often interpreted as acts of divine intervention. The Israelites, like their neighbors, understood such events as manifestations of divine displeasure or judgment. The concept of a plague as a divine punishment is consistent with the covenantal relationship between God and Israel, where blessings and curses were contingent upon obedience to God's laws.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5062.htm">nagaph</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a blow, a striking<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>plague (6), strike (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">נֶ֫גֶף</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Exodus 12:13</sup> <font size="+1"><b>blow, striking</b></font> (as judgment, only P);
