Berean Strong's Lexicon gulgoleth: Skull, head, poll Original Word: גֻּלְגֹּלֶת Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּלַל (galal), meaning "to roll" or "to turn." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "gulgoleth" is κεφαλή (kephalē), Strong's Greek 2776, meaning "head." Usage: The Hebrew word "gulgoleth" primarily refers to a "skull" or "head." It is used in the context of counting individuals, often translated as "per person" or "per head," indicating a census or headcount. The term also appears in contexts related to physical anatomy, specifically referring to the skull. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of counting by "heads" was a practical method for census-taking, taxation, and organizing military forces. The term "gulgoleth" reflects this practice, emphasizing the individual as a unit within the community. The skull, as a part of the human anatomy, also held symbolic significance, representing life and identity.
