Berean Strong's Lexicon techor: Tumor, Hemorrhoid Original Word: טְחוֹר Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: techor Pronunciation: te-khor Phonetic Spelling: (tekh-ore') Definition: Tumor, Hemorrhoid Meaning: a boil, ulcer, a tumor, in the anus, pudenda Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance for "techor," as it is a specific Hebrew term. However, the concept of divine affliction or punishment can be related to Greek terms like "μάστιξ" (mastix - G3148), meaning a scourge or affliction. Usage: The Hebrew word "techor" refers to a physical affliction, specifically tumors or hemorrhoids. In the biblical context, it is often associated with divine judgment or punishment. The term is used to describe a painful and humiliating condition that afflicted the Philistines as a result of their capture of the Ark of the Covenant. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, physical ailments were often seen as manifestations of divine displeasure or judgment. The affliction of "techorim" (plural of techor) upon the Philistines is a vivid example of this belief. The Philistines, having captured the Ark of the Covenant, experienced these painful tumors as a sign of God's power and displeasure. This event underscores the sacredness of the Ark and the seriousness of treating holy objects with reverence.
