It signifies the process or result of being made whole or well, whether through divine intervention or natural means. The concept of healing in the Hebrew Scriptures is closely tied to the idea of restoration and wholeness, not just physically but also spiritually and communally.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, health and healing were seen as integral parts of one's relationship with God. Illness was often perceived as a consequence of sin or disobedience, and healing was a sign of God's mercy and forgiveness. The Israelites believed that God was the ultimate healer, as reflected in His name Jehovah-Rapha, "The Lord who heals." Healing practices in ancient Israel included prayer, anointing with oil, and the use of natural remedies, all of which were seen as means through which God could work.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7495.htm">rapha</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>remedy, medicine<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>healing (2), remedies (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">רְפֻאָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>remedy, medicine</b></font>;
