Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the Hebrew verb טָלָא (tala) in the Strong's Concordance. However, the concept of variegation or marking can be related to Greek terms that describe similar actions or appearances, though these would not be direct translations or equivalents. Usage: The verb טָלָא (tala) is used in the context of marking or spotting, often referring to the act of creating a variegated or multicolored appearance. This term is typically associated with the physical appearance of objects, particularly in the context of animal husbandry. Context: The Hebrew verb טָלָא (tala) appears in the context of Genesis 30:32, 35, 39, 40, and 31:8, 10, 12, where it describes the process of Jacob selectively breeding livestock. Jacob's agreement with Laban involved separating the speckled and spotted animals from the flock, which were to be his wages. The term is used to describe the physical appearance of the animals that were marked or spotted, indicating a distinct pattern or coloration. This narrative highlights the use of טָלָא (tala) in a practical and economic context, where the appearance of the animals directly impacted Jacob's wealth and prosperity. The concept of variegation, as expressed by טָלָא, underscores themes of divine providence and human ingenuity in the biblical text.
