Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּלָה (galah), which means "to uncover, remove, or go into exile."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 1494: δεσμωτήριον (desmoterion) • prison, captivity Usage: The word "galut" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the condition of the Israelites when they were taken captive by foreign powers, such as the Assyrians and Babylonians. It is a term that encapsulates both the physical displacement and the spiritual and cultural challenges faced by the exiled community. Context: The concept of "galut" is central to the narrative of the Hebrew Bible, particularly in the context of the Assyrian and Babylonian exiles. The Northern Kingdom of Israel experienced "galut" when the Assyrians conquered it in 722 BCE, leading to the dispersion of the ten tribes. Later, the Southern Kingdom of Judah faced a similar fate when the Babylonians captured Jerusalem in 586 BCE, resulting in the Babylonian exile. This period of "galut" was marked by profound theological reflection and transformation, as the Israelites grappled with questions of identity, covenant, and divine justice. The prophets, such as Jeremiah and Ezekiel, provided guidance and hope, emphasizing themes of repentance and restoration. The return from "galut" under Persian rule, as described in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah, was seen as a fulfillment of divine promise and a renewal of the covenant relationship with God.
