Berean Strong's Lexicon Palal: To pray, to intercede, to judge Original Word: פָּלַל Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4336 (προσεύχομαι, proseuchomai): To pray - G1783 (ἐντυγχάνω, entynchano): To intercede Usage: The Hebrew verb "palal" primarily means to pray or to intercede. It conveys the act of intervening or mediating, often in a spiritual or judicial context. The term is used to describe the act of seeking divine intervention or judgment, reflecting a deep reliance on God's sovereignty and justice. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, prayer was a central aspect of religious life, serving as a means of communication with God. The act of intercession was particularly significant, as it demonstrated a communal and covenantal relationship with God. Leaders, prophets, and priests often engaged in intercessory prayer on behalf of the people, seeking God's guidance, forgiveness, and blessing. The concept of judgment in prayer also reflects the theocratic nature of Israelite society, where divine law and justice were paramount.
