Berean Strong's Lexicon al: not, no, do not Original Word: אַל Word Origin: A primitive particle Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3361 (μή, mē) - often used in the New Testament to express negation or prohibition, similar to the Hebrew "אַל." Usage: The Hebrew particle "אַל" (al) is primarily used as a negative particle, often conveying prohibition or negation. It is typically used in contexts where a command or instruction is being given, indicating what should not be done. It is distinct from "לֹא" (lo), which is a more general negation, while "אַל" is often used in more immediate or specific prohibitions. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the use of "אַל" in prohibitions reflects the direct and immediate nature of commands, often found in legal, moral, and religious contexts. The Hebrew language, with its rich use of particles, provides nuanced ways to express commands and prohibitions, which are integral to understanding the covenantal relationship between God and His people as outlined in the Torah and other biblical texts.
