Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew term כְּוִיָּה in the Strong's Concordance. However, related concepts of injury and restitution can be found in the Greek New Testament, where terms such as πληγή (plēgē • Strong's Greek 4127, meaning "wound" or "blow") may be used in similar contexts of physical harm and justice. Usage: The term כְּוִיָּה is used in the context of physical injury, specifically referring to a burn or branding mark. It appears in the context of laws concerning bodily injuries and compensation. Context: The Hebrew term כְּוִיָּה (keviyah) is found in the Old Testament, specifically in the legal texts that address personal injuries and the appropriate restitution for such injuries. In Leviticus 24:19-20, the concept of "an eye for an eye" is expanded to include various forms of injury, including burns. The term כְּוִיָּה is used to describe a burn that results in a permanent mark or scar, indicating the severity of the injury and the need for equitable compensation. This reflects the ancient Near Eastern legal principle of lex talionis, which seeks to ensure justice by imposing a penalty equivalent to the injury inflicted. The use of כְּוִיָּה in this context underscores the importance of fairness and proportionality in the administration of justice.
