Strong's Lexicon bilade: Without, except, apart from Original Word: בִּלְעֲדֵי Word Origin: Derived from the root בַּל (bal), meaning "not" or "without." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "bilade" is "χωρίς" (Strong's Greek 5565), which also means "without" or "apart from." Usage: The Hebrew preposition "bilade" is used to denote exclusion or exception. It often appears in contexts where something is being set apart or excluded from a group or situation. It can be translated as "without," "except," or "apart from," depending on the context. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of exclusion or separation was significant, especially in religious and social contexts. The use of "bilade" reflects the importance of distinguishing between what is included and what is set apart, whether in terms of people, objects, or actions. This distinction often had implications for purity, holiness, and covenantal relationships.
