Strong's Lexicon alilah: Deed, act, work, exploit Original Word: עֲלִילָה Word Origin: Derived from the root עָלַל (alal), which means "to act" or "to do." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "alilah" is ἔργον (ergon), Strong's Greek #2041, which also means "work" or "deed." Usage: The Hebrew word "alilah" generally refers to an action or deed, often with a connotation of intentionality or purpose. It can denote both positive and negative actions, depending on the context. In the biblical narrative, it is used to describe human actions, divine interventions, and sometimes the deeds of nations. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, actions and deeds were often seen as reflections of one's character and intentions. The concept of "alilah" would have been understood within the broader context of covenantal relationships, where deeds were significant in demonstrating faithfulness or unfaithfulness to God and others. The term also reflects the ancient Near Eastern understanding of history as a series of significant acts or events, often attributed to divine or royal agency.
