Strong's Lexicon galal: Dung, refuse Original Word: גָּלָל Word Origin: From the root verb גָּלַל (galal), meaning "to roll" or "to roll away." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "galal," the concept of impurity or refuse can be related to Greek terms such as σκύβαλον (skubalon), which means refuse or rubbish, as seen in Philippians 3:8. Usage: The Hebrew word "galal" is used to denote dung or refuse, often in the context of something considered worthless or to be discarded. It is a term that conveys a sense of impurity or something that is to be removed or rolled away, reflecting its root meaning. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, dung was a common byproduct of daily life, especially in agrarian societies. It was often used as fertilizer, but it also symbolized uncleanness and was associated with waste that needed to be disposed of. The use of "galal" in the Hebrew Bible often carries a metaphorical weight, symbolizing spiritual impurity or judgment.
