Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "pelili," related concepts can be found in Greek terms such as κρίνω (krinō - to judge) and δικαιοσύνη (dikaiosynē - righteousness, justice), which are used in the Septuagint and the New Testament to convey similar ideas of judgment and justice.

Usage: The term "pelili" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe matters related to judgment or legal proceedings. It conveys the sense of something being judicial or pertaining to the process of making decisions based on law and justice. The root word, פָּלַל (palal), often involves the act of interceding or making a judgment, which is reflected in the adjective form as it pertains to legal contexts.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the legal system was deeply intertwined with religious and moral principles. Judges were expected to uphold God's laws and ensure justice within the community. The concept of judgment was not only a legal matter but also a spiritual one, as it was believed that God Himself was the ultimate judge. The use of "pelili" in the Hebrew Bible reflects the importance of justice and righteousness in maintaining social order and covenantal faithfulness.
