sōr (substantive) ( נגע , negha‛ ; ἕλκος , hélkos , verb ἑλκόομαι , helkóomai ): In the account of the appearance of leprosy ( Leviticus 13:42 f) the spot on the skin is called by this name, which in the King James Version is translated "sore," but in the Revised Version (British and American) "plague"; similarly in the Dedication Prayer ( 2 Chronicles 6:28 f) the Revised Version (British and American) has altered the rendering of negha‛ for "sore" to "plague" as it has done also in Psalm 38:11 . The word literally means a "stroke" or "blow," and so is applied to a disease or infliction from God. טריּה מכּה , makkah ṭerı̄yāh , in the King James Version is rendered "putrifying sores," the English Revised Version "festering sores," the American Standard Revised Version and the English Revised Version margin "fresh stripes." See Stripes . In the only other text in the Old Testament in which "sore" is used as a substantive in the King James Version ( Psalm 77:2 ), the word used is yādh , which literally means the "outstretched hand," hence, the Revised Version (British and American) renders the text: "My hand was stretched out in the night and slacked not." In the New Testament the ulcers on the limbs of Lazarus which were the result of poverty and hardship ( Luke 16:20 ), and were licked by the pariah dogs ( Luke 16:21 ), are called "sores." Sores also which are called noisome and grievous, were the result of the outpouring of the first of the seven bowls of the wrath of God ( Revelation 16:2-11 ).
