Berean Strong's Lexicon galah: To uncover, reveal, go into exile, depart Original Word: גָּלָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - ἀποκαλύπτω (apokalyptō): To reveal, uncover - μετοικεσία (metoikesia): Exile, deportation Usage: The Hebrew verb "galah" primarily means "to uncover" or "to reveal." It is used in various contexts, including the uncovering of physical objects, the revealing of secrets or truths, and the exposure of one's nakedness. Additionally, "galah" is frequently used in the context of exile, referring to the act of being taken captive or departing from one's homeland. This dual usage highlights both the physical and metaphorical aspects of uncovering and displacement. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of uncovering or revealing was significant both in religious and social contexts. Uncovering could imply shame or dishonor, especially in terms of nakedness or exposure of sin. The theme of exile is a major motif in the Hebrew Bible, reflecting historical events such as the Babylonian captivity. Exile was seen as a form of divine judgment, a consequence of the nation's unfaithfulness to God's covenant.
