Strong's Lexicon tala: To patch, to mend, to repair Original Word: תָּלַע Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent concept can be found in Strong's Greek entries such as G1911 (ἐπιβάλλω, epiballō) in the context of placing a patch on a garment, and G2537 (καινός, kainos) when discussing new versus old in the context of garments. Usage: The Hebrew verb "tala" primarily means to patch or mend something that is torn or broken. It conveys the action of repairing or restoring an item to its original or functional state. This term is often used in the context of physical repairs, such as mending garments or other fabric items. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, clothing and textiles were valuable commodities, often handmade and time-consuming to produce. The act of mending or patching garments was a common and necessary practice to extend the life of these items. This reflects a broader cultural emphasis on resourcefulness and stewardship of material goods. The concept of repair and restoration also carries spiritual significance, symbolizing the restoration of relationships and communities.
