Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Aramaic rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek 2980: λαλέω (laleō) • to speak, to talk Usage: The verb מְלַל is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, specifically in the books of Daniel and Ezra. It denotes the act of speaking or talking. Context: The Aramaic verb מְלַל appears in the context of the exilic and post-exilic periods, reflecting the linguistic environment of the Jewish people during their time in Babylon and subsequent return to Judah. This term is primarily found in the book of Daniel, where it is used to describe the speech of various characters, including kings and prophets. For example, in Daniel 7:8, the term is used to describe the boastful words of the little horn: "While I was contemplating the horns, suddenly another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. And there were eyes like the eyes of a man in this horn, and a mouth speaking great things." (BSB). The use of מְלַל in these contexts highlights the importance of speech as a means of conveying authority, prophecy, and revelation. The verb is also found in Ezra, where it is used in the context of official decrees and communications.
