Strong's Lexicon maggephah: Plague, pestilence, slaughter Original Word: מַגֵּפָה Word Origin: Derived from the root נָגַף (nagaph), meaning "to strike" or "to smite." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3061 (loimos): Often translated as "pestilence" or "plague" in the New Testament. - G4127 (plēgē): Meaning "blow" or "plague," used in contexts of divine judgment. Usage: The term "maggephah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a sudden and severe calamity, often in the form of a plague or pestilence, that results in widespread death or destruction. It is frequently associated with divine judgment or punishment, where God uses a plague to discipline or correct His people or their enemies. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, plagues were often seen as manifestations of divine displeasure or judgment. The Israelites, like their neighbors, understood such events as direct interventions by God in human affairs. Plagues could serve as a means of purification, a call to repentance, or a demonstration of God's power and sovereignty. In the context of the covenant relationship between God and Israel, plagues were sometimes used to bring the people back to faithfulness.
