Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 4644: σκληροκαρδία (sklērokardia) • hardness of heart Usage: The term גָּלַע (gālaʿ) is used in the context of describing a stubborn or obstinate attitude, often in relation to a refusal to heed guidance or correction. Context: The Hebrew root גָּלַע (gālaʿ) conveys the idea of being obstinate or stubborn. This term is used to describe a state of mind or behavior that is resistant to change or correction. In the biblical context, obstinacy is often portrayed as a negative trait, associated with a refusal to listen to divine instruction or to follow the path of righteousness. The concept of obstinacy is frequently linked with rebellion against God, highlighting the moral and spiritual implications of such an attitude. The stubbornness described by גָּלַע can lead to a hardened heart, making it difficult for individuals to respond to God's call or to the wisdom of others. This term underscores the importance of humility and openness to divine guidance in the biblical narrative.
