hēl´ing ( מרפא , marpē ), תּעלה , te‛ālāh , כּהה , kehah ): In the Old Testament this word is always used in its figurative sense; marpē' , which literally means "a cure," is used in Jeremiah 14:19 twice, and in Malachi 4:2; te‛ālāh , which literally means "an irrigation canal," here means something applied externally, as a plaster, in which sense it is used metaphorically in Jeremiah 30:13; kēhāh occurs only in Nahum 3:19 the King James Version and is translated "assuagings" in the Revised Version (British and American).

In the New Testament 5 times the verb is therapeúō ; once ( Acts 10:38 ) iáomai ; in the other passages it is either ı́ama , as in 1 Cor 12:9-30, or ı́asis , as in Acts 4:22 , derivatives from this verb
