Strong's Lexicon gelah or gela: To uncover, remove, reveal, go into exile Original Word: גְּלָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - ἀποκαλύπτω (apokalyptō): To reveal, uncover - μετοικίζω (metoikizō): To deport, to exile Usage: The Hebrew verb גְּלָה (gelah) primarily means "to uncover" or "to reveal." It is often used in contexts where something hidden is brought to light or exposed. Additionally, it can mean "to go into exile," reflecting the removal or displacement of people from their homeland. This dual meaning of uncovering and exile is significant in the biblical narrative, where physical and spiritual revelations often accompany periods of judgment and exile. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of uncovering or revealing was deeply tied to the idea of divine revelation and prophecy. Prophets were seen as those who "uncovered" the will of God to the people. Exile, on the other hand, was a significant event in Israel's history, particularly the Babylonian exile, which was seen as both a physical and spiritual uncovering of the nation's sins and a call to repentance and restoration.
