Strong's Lexicon tsalal: To tingle, quiver, or vibrate Original Word: צָלַל Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "tsalal," the concept of a divine message causing a physical reaction can be related to Greek terms like "phobos" (G5401), meaning fear or reverence, which often accompanies divine encounters in the New Testament. Usage: The Hebrew verb "tsalal" primarily conveys the idea of a tingling or quivering sensation, often associated with a physical or emotional response. In the context of the Bible, it is used to describe a reaction to a significant or startling event, often as a divine sign or judgment. The term can imply a sense of awe, fear, or anticipation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, physical sensations were often seen as manifestations of spiritual or emotional states. The tingling or quivering described by "tsalal" could be understood as a visceral reaction to the presence or actions of God, reflecting the deep connection between the physical and spiritual realms in biblical thought. Such sensations were sometimes interpreted as omens or signs, indicating the seriousness of a divine message or event.
