Berean Strong's Lexicon alats: To rejoice, exult, triumph Original Word: אָלַץ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "alats" is "ἀγαλλιάω" (Strong's Greek 21), which also means to exult or rejoice greatly. Usage: The Hebrew verb "alats" primarily conveys a sense of exuberant joy or triumph. It is often used in contexts where there is a celebration of victory or a profound sense of joy and gladness. The term can imply a physical expression of joy, such as leaping or shouting, reflecting an intense emotional response. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, expressions of joy and triumph were often communal and public. Celebrations of military victories, religious festivals, and other significant events were marked by singing, dancing, and other forms of jubilant expression. The use of "alats" in the Hebrew Bible reflects this cultural context, where joy was not only a personal emotion but also a collective experience shared among the community.
