Word Origin: From the root דָּלָה (dalah), meaning "to hang" or "to draw up."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2374 (θύρα, thura): Often used in the New Testament to denote a door or gate, both literally and metaphorically.

Usage: The Hebrew word "deleth" primarily refers to a door, which can be a literal door of a house, temple, or city gate. It signifies an entryway or barrier that can be opened or closed, symbolizing access, protection, or separation.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, doors were significant architectural elements in homes, temples, and city gates. They were often made of wood and could be reinforced with metal. Doors served not only practical purposes but also held symbolic meanings, representing security, hospitality, and the threshold between the sacred and the profane. In the context of the tabernacle and temple, doors were integral to the structure, marking the transition from the outer courts to the holy places.
