Strong's Lexicon ruph: To heal, to restore Original Word: רוּף Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is "ἰάομαι" (Strong's Greek 2390), which also means to heal or cure. Usage: The Hebrew verb "ruph" primarily conveys the action of healing or restoring to health. It is used in contexts where physical healing is needed, as well as metaphorically for spiritual or emotional restoration. The term emphasizes the process of making whole or bringing back to a state of well-being. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, healing was often seen as a divine act, with God being the ultimate healer. The concept of healing extended beyond physical ailments to include spiritual and communal restoration. Priests and prophets sometimes acted as intermediaries for God's healing power, and rituals or prayers were often involved in the healing process. The holistic view of health in the Hebrew Bible reflects the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originsee raphaph.
