Berean Strong's Lexicon gillul: Idol, Detestable Thing Original Word: גִּלּוּל Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּלַל (galal), meaning "to roll" or "to heap up." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1497 (εἴδωλον, eidolon): Refers to an idol or false god, used in the New Testament to describe objects of pagan worship. - G2285 (θεομάχος, theomachos): While not a direct translation, it refers to one who fights against God, often associated with idolatrous practices. Usage: The term "gillul" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to idols or objects of worship that are considered detestable or abominable in the sight of God. It often carries a derogatory connotation, emphasizing the worthlessness and repulsiveness of these idols. The word is frequently used in the context of condemning the idolatrous practices of the nations surrounding Israel and warning the Israelites against adopting such practices. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, idol worship was a common practice among various cultures and religions. These idols were often crafted from wood, stone, or metal and were believed to embody deities or spiritual forces. The Israelites, however, were commanded by God to worship Him alone and to reject all forms of idolatry. The use of "gillul" reflects the biblical authors' disdain for these idols, viewing them as powerless and offensive to the one true God.
