Hello Sista Sorry, I am having difficulty making a connection between what the Bible says and the pain of Jabez. There is no disease mentioned in the life of Jabez that I know of. The pain mentioned is due to his mother's labor pains which are understood to be beyond normal. The pain felt by Jabez was actually removed by God as an answer to the prayer of Jabez. See the following passage, Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother named him Jabez saying, "Because I bore him with pain." Now Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, "Oh that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my border, and that Your hand might be with me, and that You would keep me from harm that it may not pain me!" And God granted him what he requested. (1Ch 4:9-10) Forgive me for not knowing more about the sickle cell, but I understand it to be caused by genetic mutations. These mutations develop over time, so I would assume that this blood-borne characteristic was not in existence during Jabez's time. Again, this is only my assumption, there may be references to disease in the Old testament that could be translated as sickle cell but I am unaware of any. One symptom of sickle cell is a shortened life span, and this is not mentioned in Jabez. Lord Bless, keliy |
