Abstract

The Hebrew participial expression kȋ ՚ănȋ ʾădōnāi rōphĕ’kā (for I am the Lord who heals you), introduces God as a healer, in Exodus 15:22-27. This paper historically, rhetorically examines this narrative and theologically addresses the questions: What is Healing and who heals in this story and by what means? Does God’s healing of Israel from Egyptian bondage, and desert experiences exclude other healers and agents: Moses, water and the piece of the wood (v.25)?  It concludes that although God is the ultimate healer, he heals human beings, Africans and non-Africans, through varied scientific means, skills and talents he has given to human agents.
