Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Corresponds to the Hebrew root גָּלָה (galah)

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G1213 (δηλόω, deloo): This Greek verb means "to make clear" or "to reveal," and it shares a similar semantic range with the Aramaic גְּלָה. It is used in the New Testament to describe the act of making something known or manifest, aligning with the concept of revelation found in the Old Testament usage of גְּלָה.

Usage: This Aramaic verb is used in the context of uncovering or revealing something, often associated with the act of exile or the removal of a covering. It appears in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra.

Context: The Aramaic verb גְּלָה (gelah) is a cognate of the Hebrew גָּלָה (galah), sharing similar meanings and usages. In the Biblical context, it often refers to the act of revealing or uncovering, which can be metaphorical or literal. The term is frequently used in the context of exile, where it describes the act of being taken away or removed from one's homeland, as seen in the Babylonian exile narratives. Additionally, it can denote the act of revelation, where hidden truths or divine mysteries are disclosed.

In the book of Daniel, גְּלָה is used to describe the revealing of secrets or mysteries, often in the context of divine revelation through dreams or visions. For example, Daniel 2:22 states, "He reveals the deep and hidden things; He knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with Him." This highlights the aspect of God as the revealer of mysteries.

In Ezra, the term is used in the context of the return from exile, emphasizing the restoration and uncovering of the people of Israel from their captivity. The usage in these books underscores the dual themes of exile and revelation, both of which are central to the narrative of Israel's history and God's interaction with His people.
