Strong's Lexicon alu: Prominence, strength, leader Original Word: אֲלוּ Word Origin: Derived from a root that is not widely attested in Hebrew, possibly related to a term for strength or prominence. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent might be found in terms like "δυνατός" (dunatos), meaning powerful or mighty, which is used in the New Testament to describe individuals with authority or strength. Usage: The term "alu" is used to denote a sense of strength or prominence, often in the context of leadership or authority. It conveys the idea of someone or something that stands out due to its power or influence. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, strength and leadership were highly valued traits, often associated with kings, warriors, and tribal leaders. The concept of "alu" would have been understood as a desirable quality, reflecting the ability to lead and protect one's people. This aligns with the broader Ancient Near Eastern context, where leaders were often depicted as mighty and powerful figures. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin(Aramaic) a prim. interj.
