Strong's Lexicon negeph: Plague, defeat, blow, calamity Original Word: נֶגֶף Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: negeph Pronunciation: neh'-ghef Phonetic Spelling: (neh'-ghef) Definition: Plague, defeat, blow, calamity Meaning: a trip, an infliction Word Origin: From the root verb נָגַף (nagaph), meaning "to strike" or "to smite." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "negeph" is πληγή (plēgē - Strong's Greek 4127), which also means "plague" or "blow." Usage: The Hebrew word "negeph" primarily refers to a plague or calamity, often seen as a divine judgment or punishment. It can also denote a defeat or a blow, particularly in a military context. The term is used to describe events where a large number of people are struck down, often as a result of disobedience to God or as a consequence of sin. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, plagues and calamities were often interpreted as acts of divine intervention. The Israelites, like their neighbors, understood such events as manifestations of divine displeasure or judgment. The concept of a plague as a divine punishment is consistent with the covenantal relationship between God and Israel, where blessings and curses were contingent upon obedience to God's laws.
