Strong's Lexicon chalal: Slain, pierced, wounded, dead Original Word: חָלָל Word Origin: Derived from the root חָלַל (chalal), which can mean to pierce, wound, or profane. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4430 (ptoma): Refers to a fallen body or corpse. - G2348 (thnesko): To die, be dead. Usage: The Hebrew word "chalal" primarily refers to someone who has been slain or killed, often in the context of battle or violence. It can also imply being wounded or pierced. The term is used to describe those who have fallen in combat or have been struck down by violence. In some contexts, it can also carry the connotation of being defiled or profaned, though this is more directly related to the root verb חָלַל. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of being "slain" or "wounded" was often associated with the realities of warfare and conflict. The Israelites, like many ancient peoples, engaged in battles to defend their land and uphold their covenant with God. The term "chalal" would have been a common descriptor in the context of recounting battles and the casualties that resulted. Additionally, the idea of being "profaned" or "defiled" ties into the broader cultural and religious understanding of purity and holiness, which were central to Israelite worship and community life.
