Strong's Lexicon galuth: Exile, Captivity Original Word: גָּלוּת Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּלָה (galah), meaning "to uncover," "to reveal," or "to go into exile." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1497 (εἰδωλολατρεία, eidololatreia): Often associated with the idolatry that led to exile. - G1628 (ἐκβάλλω, ekballo): To cast out, related to the concept of being removed or exiled. Usage: The term "galuth" primarily refers to the state of being exiled or the condition of captivity. It is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the forced displacement of the Israelites from their homeland, particularly during significant historical events such as the Babylonian Exile. The word conveys both the physical removal from one's land and the spiritual and communal implications of living away from the Promised Land. Cultural and Historical Background: The concept of "galuth" is central to the history of Israel and Judah, reflecting periods when the Israelites were conquered and taken captive by foreign powers. The most notable instance is the Babylonian Exile in the 6th century BCE, when the Babylonians destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple, leading to the deportation of many Jews to Babylon. This period of exile had profound effects on Jewish identity, theology, and community life, fostering a sense of longing for return and restoration.
