Usage: The term קַדַּחַת is used in the context of describing a severe fever or inflammation, often as a form of divine punishment or affliction. Context: The Hebrew word קַדַּחַת (qaddaḥat) appears in the Old Testament to describe a condition of severe fever or inflammation. It is often associated with divine retribution or as a consequence of disobedience to God's commandments. The term is notably found in Deuteronomy 28:22, where it is listed among the curses that would befall the Israelites if they failed to obey the Lord's commands: "The LORD will strike you with wasting disease, with fever and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought, with blight and mildew, which will plague you until you perish" (BSB). This passage highlights the severity of the affliction, emphasizing its role as a tool of divine judgment. The use of קַדַּחַת in this context underscores the ancient understanding of disease as not merely a physical ailment but as a manifestation of spiritual and moral realities.
