It is used in the context of physical healing, as well as metaphorical or spiritual healing. The term can refer to the healing of individuals, nations, or even the land. It emphasizes the restoration of wholeness and well-being, often attributed to divine intervention.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, healing was often seen as a divine act, with God being the ultimate healer. The concept of healing extended beyond physical ailments to include spiritual and communal restoration. The Israelites believed that obedience to God's commandments would lead to health and prosperity, while disobedience could result in illness and suffering. Healing rituals and prayers were common, and prophets often played a role in mediating God's healing power.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I. <font class="hebrew2">רָפָא</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>in Benjamin</b></font>, <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/8-2.htm">1 Chronicles 8:2</a>, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ραφη[α].</font> — <p>II. <font class="hebrew2">רָפָא</font> see <font class="hebrew2">רפה</font>. — See also <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">בֵּית ר</font> p. 112. <p> I. <font class="hebrew2">רָפָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>in Saul's line</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/8-37.htm">1 Chronicles 8:37</a>, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ραφαι</font>(<font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">α</font>)<font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">,</font> <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font><sup>L</sup> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Αραχα</font>;
