Berean Strong's Lexicon yala: To profit, gain, avail, be of use Original Word: יָלַע Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "yala," the concept of profit or gain can be found in Greek words such as κέρδος (kerdos - Strong's Greek 2771), which means gain or profit. Usage: The Hebrew verb "yala" primarily conveys the idea of being of use or benefit, often in the context of something being profitable or advantageous. It is used to describe actions or situations that result in gain or benefit, either materially or spiritually. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of profit or gain was not limited to financial or material wealth but extended to include wisdom, favor, and spiritual blessings. The Hebrew culture, deeply rooted in covenantal relationships with God, viewed true profit as aligning with God's will and purposes. The idea of profit was often tied to obedience to God's commandments and the resulting blessings. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originthe same as lua, q.v.
