Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, fever was a common ailment, often without the medical understanding we have today.

The Israelites, like many ancient cultures, attributed physical ailments to spiritual causes, and fever was no exception. Remedies were limited, and reliance on prayer and divine healing was common.
