Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root עָקַל (ʿāqal), which means "to twist" or "to wind."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for עֲקַלְקַל (ʿăqalqal) in the Strong's Greek lexicon. However, the concept of "winding" or "crooked" paths can be related to Greek terms that describe moral or physical deviation from a straight path, such as σκολιός (skolios • Strong's Greek 4646), which means "crooked" or "perverse." Usage: This word is used in the context of describing something that is not straight, often referring to paths or ways that are winding or crooked. Context: The Hebrew word עֲקַלְקַל (ʿăqalqal) appears in the Old Testament to describe paths or ways that are not straightforward, symbolizing complexity or deceit. It is used in a metaphorical sense to describe moral or ethical crookedness, as well as in a literal sense to describe physical paths. The word is found in the book of Isaiah, where it is used to depict the transformation of crooked paths into straight ones, symbolizing the rectification of moral and spiritual wrongs. This imagery is often associated with divine intervention and the establishment of righteousness.
