Strong's Lexicon gala: To uncover, reveal, go into exile, disclose Original Word: גָּלַע Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G601 (apokalyptō): To uncover, reveal - G1540 (ekballō): To cast out, send away Usage: The Hebrew verb "gala" primarily means to uncover or reveal. It is used in various contexts, including the uncovering of physical objects, the revelation of secrets or divine truths, and the act of going into exile. The term can denote both literal and metaphorical uncovering, such as the exposure of sin or the revelation of God's will. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of uncovering or revealing was significant in both religious and social contexts. Uncovering could refer to the physical act of removing a covering, but it also had deeper implications, such as the revelation of hidden truths or the exposure of wrongdoing. The idea of exile, another meaning of "gala," was a critical theme in Israel's history, particularly during the Babylonian captivity, which was seen as a divine judgment and a call to repentance.
