Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance that corresponds to the Hebrew עִלֵּג (ʿillēg). However, Greek terms related to speech and language, such as βαρβαρικός (barbarikos) meaning "foreign" or "barbarous," may capture similar themes of unintelligible or unclear speech in the context of language barriers.

Usage: The word עִלֵּג (ʿillēg) appears in the context of describing speech that is difficult to understand, often associated with foreign or unintelligible languages. It is used in the Hebrew Bible to convey the idea of unclear or stammering speech.

Context: The term עִלֵּג (ʿillēg) is found in the Hebrew Bible in contexts where speech is characterized by a lack of clarity or fluency. This word is often associated with the speech of foreigners or those who speak in a manner that is difficult to comprehend. In Isaiah 33:19, the term is used to describe a people whose language is not understood: "You will no longer see the insolent people, the people whose speech is unintelligible, whose stammering tongue you cannot understand." This usage highlights the barrier created by language differences and the challenge of communication when speech is not clear. The term reflects the broader biblical theme of communication and understanding, emphasizing the importance of clear and effective speech in conveying messages and fostering relationships.
