1.
(

, 770), lit., “to be weak, feeble” ( , negative,
,
“strength”), is translated “to be sick,” e.g., in Matt. 10:8, “(the) sick”; 25:36; v. 39 in the
best texts (some have B, No. 1); Mark 6:56; Luke 4:40; 7:10 (

2.
(

, 2577), primarily, “to work,” hence, from the effect of constant
work, “to be weary,” Heb. 12:3, is rendered “(him) that is sick,” in Jas. 5:15,
RV
,
KJV
“(the) sick.” The choice of this verb instead of the repetition of No. 1 (v. 14, see above),
is suggestive of the common accompaniment of “sickness,” weariness of mind (which is
the meaning of this verb), which not infrequently hinders physical recovery; hence this
special cause is here intimated in the general idea of “sickness.” In some mss. it occurs in
Rev. 2:3.¶ In the Sept., Job 10:1; 17:2.¶
