It is used in various contexts to describe physical illness, emotional distress, or a state of being afflicted. The term can also imply a sense of entreaty or supplication, as one might plead for relief from their condition.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, illness and affliction were often seen as conditions that could have spiritual implications. Sickness could be perceived as a result of sin or divine displeasure, though not exclusively so. The community's response to illness included prayer, ritual purification, and seeking God's intervention. The concept of healing was deeply intertwined with spiritual restoration and divine mercy.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to be sick or diseased<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>became diseased (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.
