Strong's Lexicon galash: To roll, to heap up, to pile Original Word: גָּלַשׁ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there may not be a direct one-to-one correspondence, Greek terms that convey similar meanings of rolling or heaping include "κυλίω" (kylio - to roll) and "σωρεύω" (soreuo - to heap up). Usage: The Hebrew verb "galash" primarily conveys the action of rolling or heaping up, often in the context of physical objects or materials. It can imply the gathering or accumulation of items into a pile or heap. This term is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, and its occurrences are often metaphorical, illustrating the gathering or accumulation of something, whether tangible or intangible. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the act of piling or heaping up materials was a common practice, whether for construction, storage, or ritual purposes. The imagery of rolling or heaping could also be symbolic, representing the accumulation of wealth, resources, or even sins. Understanding the cultural context of physical labor and construction in ancient Israel can provide insight into the metaphorical uses of "galash."
