Strong's Lexicon paal: To do, make, perform, work Original Word: פָעַל Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4160 (poieo): To make, do - G2038 (ergazomai): To work, labor Usage: The Hebrew verb "paal" primarily means to do or to make, often in the context of performing an action or work. It conveys the idea of engaging in an activity or producing something through effort. In the biblical context, it is frequently used to describe God's creative and redemptive acts, as well as human actions, whether righteous or sinful. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, actions and deeds were highly significant, reflecting one's character and relationship with God. The concept of "paal" underscores the importance of not just intentions but tangible actions. In the biblical narrative, God's actions are central to His revelation and interaction with humanity, and human actions are often depicted as responses to God's commands and covenant.
