Berean Strong's Lexicon bal: Not, no, without Original Word: בַּל Word Origin: A primitive particle Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence in Greek for the Hebrew "bal," the concept of negation is similarly expressed in Greek with words like "οὐ" (ou) and "μή" (mē), which are used to negate statements or commands. Usage: The Hebrew word "bal" is an adverb used to express negation, often translated as "not" or "no" in English. It is used to negate verbs or clauses, emphasizing the absence or non-existence of an action or state. In some contexts, it can also imply a sense of "without" or "lacking." Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, language was a powerful tool for conveying theological and moral truths. The use of negation, such as "bal," was significant in emphasizing the holiness and distinctiveness of God’s commandments and the moral expectations placed upon His people. The word "bal" often appears in contexts where the Israelites are instructed to avoid certain actions or behaviors that are contrary to God's laws.
