It appears in contexts where something is set apart or distinguished from others. Context: זוּלָה (zulah) is a Hebrew term that appears in the Old Testament to denote exclusion or exception. It is often used in legal or covenantal contexts to specify conditions or stipulations that set something apart from the general rule. For example, in Deuteronomy 1:36, the term is used to highlight Caleb's unique status among the Israelites: "except Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him and his descendants I will give the land on which he has set foot, because he has followed the LORD wholeheartedly" (BSB). This usage underscores the idea of Caleb being an exception due to his faithfulness. The term is also found in poetic and prophetic literature, where it serves to emphasize distinctions or exclusions in the narrative or message.
