Strong's Lexicon pelach: To serve, to worship, to labor Original Word: פֶלַח Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3000 (λατρεύω, latreuō) – to serve, to worship - G1391 (δοξάζω, doxazō) – to glorify, to honor Usage: The Hebrew verb "pelach" primarily conveys the idea of serving or worshiping, often in a religious or spiritual context. It is used to describe acts of devotion and service, particularly in relation to God or deities. The term can also imply labor or work, emphasizing the effort and dedication involved in the act of service. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, service and worship were integral parts of daily life and religious practice. The concept of serving a deity was not only about ritualistic worship but also encompassed a lifestyle of dedication and obedience. In the Hebrew Bible, serving God was seen as a covenantal duty, reflecting loyalty and reverence towards the Creator. The use of "pelach" in the biblical text underscores the importance of wholehearted devotion and the acknowledgment of God's sovereignty.
