Strong's Lexicon Tsalaph: To tingle, to quiver Original Word: צָלָף Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of a physical reaction to divine or awe-inspiring events can be found in Greek words like "θαμβέω" (tham-beh'-o, Strong's G2285), which means to be amazed or astonished. Usage: The Hebrew verb "tsalaph" primarily conveys the idea of tingling or quivering, often used in a metaphorical sense to describe a physical reaction to a shocking or awe-inspiring event. It can imply a sense of fear, anticipation, or excitement that causes a physical response. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, physical sensations were often used to describe emotional or spiritual experiences. The tingling or quivering described by "tsalaph" could be associated with the fear of God, the awe of witnessing a divine act, or the anticipation of a prophetic revelation. Such expressions were common in a society where the physical and spiritual realms were closely intertwined.
