It can also imply a condition that is incurable or beyond remedy. The term is used to describe both physical ailments and metaphorical states of weakness or frailty, such as moral or spiritual conditions.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, physical health was often seen as a reflection of spiritual and moral standing. Illness and frailty could be perceived as divine judgment or a call to repentance. The concept of incurability, as expressed by "anash," underscores the limitations of human ability to heal or restore, pointing to the need for divine intervention.<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 weak, sick<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>desperately sick (1), incurable (6), sick (1), woeful (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.
