Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with physical wounds is חַבּוּרָה (chabburah), Strong's Hebrew 2250, which means "bruise" or "stripe," as seen in Isaiah 53:5: "But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed."

Usage: In the New Testament, the term "trauma" is used to describe a physical wound or injury. It conveys the idea of a physical affliction that results from an external force or violence. The term is often associated with the suffering and physical harm endured by individuals.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, physical wounds were common due to warfare, manual labor, and limited medical knowledge. Wounds were often treated with herbal remedies and basic surgical techniques. The concept of trauma extended beyond the physical to include emotional and psychological distress, although the latter is more emphasized in modern times.
