Strong's Lexicon galal: To roll, roll away, roll down, roll together Original Word: גָּלָל Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "galal," the concept of rolling away or removing can be seen in Greek words like "ἀποκυλίω" (apokulio), used in the New Testament to describe the rolling away of the stone from Jesus' tomb (e.g., Mark 16:3-4). Usage: The Hebrew verb "galal" primarily means "to roll" or "to roll away." It is used in various contexts in the Old Testament, often conveying the idea of removing or moving something by rolling. This action can be physical, such as rolling a stone, or metaphorical, such as rolling away reproach or burdens. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, stones were commonly used to seal tombs or wells, and the act of rolling a stone was a significant physical task. The imagery of rolling away a stone is often associated with divine intervention or the removal of obstacles. The concept of rolling away reproach or burdens also reflects the cultural understanding of honor and shame, where one's social standing could be restored by removing disgrace.
