It is used in the Old Testament to describe various forms of illness, often as a condition that requires healing or divine intervention. The term can also metaphorically represent spiritual or moral ailments, reflecting a state of weakness or affliction.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, sickness was often viewed as a consequence of sin or disobedience to God. The Israelites believed that health and wellness were blessings from God, while illness could be a sign of divine displeasure. However, the Hebrew Scriptures also emphasize God's compassion and willingness to heal those who turn to Him in faith and repentance. The role of priests and prophets was significant in diagnosing and interceding for the sick, and various purification rituals were prescribed in the Law of Moses.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an ornament<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>jewels (1), ornament (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> I. <font class="hebrew2">חֲלִי</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>ornament</b></font>, <font class="hebrew2">נֶזֶם זָחָב וַחֲלִיכָּֿ֑תֶם</font> <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/25-12.htm">Proverbs 25:12</a> <em>a</em> (nose-or-ear-) <em>ring of gold and</em> (neck-or breast-) <em>ornament of fine gold</em>;
