H. זֻלּוּת] Psalm 12:9 compare De & Checritical note. זלעף (quadriliteral √ of following; see references below) Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root זָלַל (zalal), which means "to shake" or "to be lightly esteemed."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek 5015 (ταράσσω, tarassō): to disturb, to trouble, to stir up. Usage: The term זֻלּוּת (zulut) is used in the context of describing a state of being shaken or a tempestuous condition. It can also refer to something that is considered contemptible or of little value. Context: The Hebrew word זֻלּוּת (zulut) appears in the Old Testament to convey the idea of instability or a lack of esteem. It is often used metaphorically to describe situations or conditions that are tumultuous or regarded with disdain. The root זָלַל (zalal) suggests a sense of being shaken or unsettled, which can extend to the notion of being undervalued or scorned. This term is reflective of the broader biblical theme where physical phenomena like storms or tempests are often used to symbolize spiritual or moral upheaval. In the Berean Standard Bible, the word is translated in contexts that highlight its dual connotations of physical disturbance and social or moral contempt.
