Strong's Lexicon anash: To be weak, sick, frail, incurable Original Word: אָנַשׁ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "anash," the concept of incurability or severe weakness can be related to Greek terms such as "ἀσθενής" (asthenēs - weak, sick) and "ἀνίατος" (aniatos - incurable). Usage: The Hebrew verb "anash" primarily conveys the idea of being weak or sick, often in a physical sense. 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. Cultural and Historical Background: 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.
