Berean Strong's Lexicon arukah: Healing, restoration, health Original Word: אֲרוּכָה Word Origin: Derived from the root אָרַךְ (arak), meaning "to prolong" or "to make long." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of healing is often represented by the Greek word "ἴασις" (iasis - Strong's G2390), which also means healing or cure. Usage: The Hebrew word "arukah" primarily refers to the concept of healing or restoration, often in a physical or spiritual sense. It conveys the idea of something being made whole or restored to its original state. In the context of the Bible, it is frequently used to describe the healing of wounds or the restoration of health. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, health and healing were seen as blessings from God, and illness or injury often had spiritual implications. The concept of "arukah" would have been understood not only as physical healing but also as a sign of divine favor and restoration. The Israelites believed that God was the ultimate healer, and prayers for "arukah" would have been common in times of sickness or distress.
