Usage: The Hebrew word "qaddachath" refers to a fever, often understood as a burning heat or inflammation. In the biblical context, it is typically associated with illness or divine judgment.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, fever was a common ailment, often without the medical understanding we have today. It was frequently perceived as a sign of divine intervention, either as a punishment or a test. 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.
