Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּלַל (galal), which means "to roll" or "to turn."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence in the Greek Strong's Concordance for גֻּלָּה, related concepts can be found in Greek terms that describe similar objects or ideas, such as πηγή (pēgē, Strong's Greek 4077) for "fountain" or "spring," and σφαῖρα (sphaira, not in Strong's but related) for "sphere" or "globe." These Greek terms capture the essence of a source or a round object, akin to the Hebrew גֻּלָּה.

Usage: The word גֻּלָּה appears in the Hebrew Bible in contexts that describe physical objects with a round shape, such as a bowl or a fountain. It is used to depict both literal and metaphorical sources of life and sustenance.

Context: • The term גֻּלָּה (gullah) is found in several passages within the Hebrew Scriptures, where it is used to describe objects that are round or circular in nature. In 1 Kings 7:41, it refers to the "bowls" of the capitals on top of the pillars in Solomon's temple, emphasizing their decorative and functional role. The Berean Standard Bible translates this as "the capitals on top of the pillars."
• In a broader sense, גֻּלָּה can also be understood as a "fountain," symbolizing a source of life-giving water. This imagery is often used in biblical literature to represent divine provision and sustenance, as water is a critical resource in the arid landscapes of the ancient Near East.
• The concept of a "globe" or "circle" is inherent in the word's root, suggesting completeness and continuity. This can be seen in the way the term is applied to describe the circular shape of certain objects or the encompassing nature of a fountain's flow.
