Strong's Lexicon olel or olal: Child, Infant, Little One Original Word: עוֹלֵל Word Origin: Derived from the root עָלַל (alal), which can mean to act severely, deal with severely, make a fool of, or glean. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3813 (παιδίον, paidion): Often used in the New Testament to refer to a young child or infant. - G5040 (τέκνον, teknon): Refers to a child, emphasizing the relationship to parents. Usage: The Hebrew words עוֹלֵל (olel) and עוֹלָל (olal) are used to refer to young children or infants. These terms emphasize the vulnerability and innocence of young ones, often highlighting their need for care and protection. The words can also be used metaphorically to describe those who are defenseless or in need of guidance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, children were considered a blessing from God and were integral to the family unit. They were seen as a continuation of the family line and a source of joy. The care and protection of children were paramount, and their well-being was a reflection of the community's health. The use of olel or olal in the Hebrew Bible often underscores the importance of nurturing and safeguarding the most vulnerable members of society.
