Strong's Lexicon golah: Exile, Captivity Original Word: גּוֹלָה Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּלָה (galah), meaning "to uncover" or "to reveal." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1497 (ἔκστασις, ekstasis): While not a direct translation, this Greek term can relate to a state of displacement or being out of one's usual place, though it is more commonly used to describe a state of amazement or trance. - G1628 (ἐκβάλλω, ekballo): Meaning "to cast out" or "to send away," which can relate to the concept of exile. Usage: The term "golah" primarily refers to the state of being exiled or the community of exiles. It is used to describe the condition of the Israelites when they were taken captive and removed from their homeland, particularly during the Babylonian exile. The word conveys both the physical displacement and the spiritual and cultural challenges faced by the exiled community. Cultural and Historical Background: The concept of exile is central to the history of Israel, especially during the periods of the Assyrian and Babylonian captivities. The Babylonian exile (circa 586–538 BC) was a pivotal event in Jewish history, leading to significant theological and cultural developments. During this time, the Jewish people were forced to live in a foreign land, which tested their faith and identity. The experience of exile is reflected in various biblical texts, which emphasize themes of repentance, hope, and restoration.
