Strong's Lexicon hillul: Praise, celebration Original Word: הִלּוּל Word Origin: Derived from the root verb הָלַל (halal), which means "to praise" or "to boast." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is αἰνέω (aineo, Strong's G134), which also means "to praise." Usage: The term "hillul" is used to denote a form of praise or celebration, often in a religious or communal context. It is associated with expressions of joy and thanksgiving, typically directed towards God. The root verb הָלַל (halal) is frequently used in the context of praising God, and "hillul" carries this connotation of joyous exultation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, praise and celebration were integral parts of religious life. Festivals, sacrifices, and communal gatherings often included elements of "hillul," where the community would come together to express gratitude and reverence towards God. This practice was deeply embedded in the covenant relationship between God and His people, reflecting their acknowledgment of His sovereignty and provision.
