%X Lo que la Tor¨¢ entiende por "salud" y "enfermedad" no es identificable del todo a lo que entiende hoy la cultura occidental. Para el antiguo Israel, Yahv¨¦ es el agente principal de su salud y bienestar, y el cumplimiento de la Tor¨¢, la profilaxis contra todo tipo de calamidades. Es este marco religioso el que permite comprender las disfunciones biol¨®gicas y las enfermedades mencionadas en la Tor¨¢ (infertilidad, trastornos f¨ªsicos, enfermedades cut¨¢neas...) a partir de lo que la moderna antropolog¨ªa de la salud entiende son las tres dimensiones de la enfermedad: la biol¨®gica (disease), la subjetiva (illness) y la social (sickness). O que o Tor¨¢h entende por "sa¨²de" e "doen a" n o ¨¦ identificav¨¦l de todo o que se entende hoje a cultura acidental. Para a antiga Israel, Yahv¨¦ ¨¦ o agente peinciapl de sua sa¨²de e bem-estar, e o cumprimento do Tor¨¢h, a profilaxia contra todo tipo de calamidade. Este ¨¦ o marco religioso que permite compreender as disfun  es biol¨®gicas e as doen as mensionadas na Tar¨¢h (infertilidade, transtornos f¨ªsicos, enfermedades cut¨¢neas...) a partir do que a moderna antropolog¨ªa da sa¨²de entende s o tr¨ºs as dimens es da doen a: a biol¨®gica (disease), a subjetividade (illness) e a social ( sickness). That which is implied in the Torah as "health" and "illness" is not completely related to current Western culture perception of the issue. In ancient Israel, Yahweh is the main agent of its health and wellbeing; and the fulfillment of the Torah is prophylaxis against all kinds of health problems. It is this religious framework the one which allows the understanding of the biological dysfunction and the health problems mentioned in the Torah (infertility, physical disorders, skin diseases...) based on what the modern anthropology of health understands as the three dimensions of health problems: the biological one (disease), the subjective one (illness), and the social one (sickness).
