Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 5008: ταλιθάταλιθά (WH ταλειθα, see their Appendix, p. 155, and under the word εἰ, ἰ; more correctly accented ταλιθά (see Kautzsch, as below, p. 8; cf. Tdf. Prolog., p. 102)), a Chaldean word טְלִיתָא (according to Kautzsch (Gram. d. Biblical-Aram., p. 12) more correctly, טַלְיְתָא, feminine of טַלְיָא, 'a youth'), a damsel, maiden: Mark 5:41. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Aramaic phrase טַלְיְתָא קוּמִי (talitha koumi), which is transliterated into Greek.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The phrase "talitha koumi" does not have a direct Hebrew equivalent in Strong's Concordance, as it is an Aramaic expression. However, it is related to the Hebrew word טַלְיָא (talyā), meaning "young girl" or "damsel," and קוּם (qum), meaning "to arise" or "to stand up." These words reflect the cultural and linguistic context of the time, where Aramaic was commonly spoken among the Jewish people in Judea. Usage: This term is used in the New Testament in the context of Jesus performing a miracle by raising a young girl from the dead. It appears in the Gospel of Mark. Context: The term "ταλιθά" is found in the Gospel of Mark 5:41, where Jesus performs one of His notable miracles. In this passage, Jesus arrives at the house of Jairus, a synagogue leader, whose daughter has died. Despite the mourners' disbelief, Jesus enters the room where the child lies, accompanied by her parents and His disciples Peter, James, and John. Taking the girl by the hand, He speaks the Aramaic words "Talitha koumi," which Mark translates for his Greek-speaking audience as "Little girl, I say to you, arise" (Mark 5:41, BSB). Immediately, the girl rises and begins to walk, astonishing all who witness the event. This miracle not only demonstrates Jesus' authority over life and death but also His compassion and willingness to respond to faith, as Jairus had sought Jesus' help in desperation and belief.
