Strong's Lexicon galuth or galu: Exile, Captivity Original Word: גָּלוּת Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּלָה (galah), meaning "to uncover," "to reveal," or "to go into exile." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1494 (εἰδωλόθυτον, eidolothuton): Often related to the concept of being in a foreign land with foreign practices. - G1628 (ἐκβάλλω, ekballo): To cast out, which can relate to the idea of being exiled or removed. Usage: The term "galuth" refers to the state of being exiled or in captivity, particularly in the context of the Israelites being taken from their homeland. It is often used to describe the periods when the Jewish people were forcibly removed from the land of Israel, such as the Babylonian Exile. Cultural and Historical Background: The concept of exile is central to the history of Israel and Judah. The most significant exile occurred in 586 B.C. when the Babylonians conquered Jerusalem, destroyed the Temple, and deported many Jews to Babylon. This event was seen as a divine judgment for the people's disobedience and idolatry. The exile was a time of reflection, repentance, and eventual hope for restoration, as prophesied by figures like Jeremiah and Ezekiel.
