a.ru.khah denotes restoration to health or healing, and in building contexts the repair of a structure.

The attested use most often concerns health restored or brought through healing, including a people’s condition and promised recovery. In building contexts, it refers to repair work on God’s house and in the setting of rebuilding a wall.

1. Restored health and healing · dominant

   In Isaiah 58:8, the construct form occurs where the APB renders that healing will appear quickly. In Jeremiah 30:17 and Jeremiah 33:6, the absolute form stands in promises to restore health, heal wounds, and bring health and healing; Jeremiah 8:22 uses the construct form in asking why the daughter of the people’s health has not been restored.

2. Repair of a built structure · common

   In 2 Chronicles 24:13, the absolute form occurs in the account of workers carrying out work on the house of God; the APB renders that “the repair rose for the work” and that they strengthened the house. In Nehemiah 4:1, the same absolute form appears in the setting of building the wall, though the APB does not isolate a specific English rendering for it.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term in restoration passages with “health,” alongside “healing” in Jeremiah 33:6, and with “healing” in Isaiah 58:8. In 2 Chronicles 24:13 it renders the building-context clause with “repair”; These English expressions indicate the clauses’ overall presentation rather than fixed one-to-one renderings.
