Strong's Lexicon Machalath: Machalath Original Word: מַחֲלַת Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root חָלָה (chalah), meaning "to be sick" or "to be weak." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the proper name Machalath, as it is a Hebrew personal name and musical term. However, the concept of musical direction or tune might be related to Greek terms used in the Septuagint for psalms and hymns. Usage: The name Machalath appears in the Hebrew Bible as a proper name. It is used to refer to two distinct individuals: a wife of Esau and a daughter of Ishmael, and a daughter of Jerimoth, who became a wife of Rehoboam. The name is also associated with a musical term or tune, possibly indicating a type of song or melody used in the Psalms. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes indicative of personal characteristics or circumstances surrounding a person's birth. The name Machalath, derived from a root meaning "sickness" or "weakness," might reflect a particular event or condition at the time of naming. The use of Machalath as a musical term suggests a cultural practice of naming tunes or musical styles, which was common in ancient Israelite worship and liturgy.
