Strong's Lexicon pethigil: "Unfolding Joy" Original Word: פְתִיגִיל Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּתַח (pathach), meaning "to open" or "to unfold," combined with גִּיל (gil), meaning "joy" or "rejoicing." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "pethigil," the concept of joy is captured in Greek by words such as χαρά (chara, Strong's G5479), meaning "joy" or "delight." Usage: The term "pethigil" is used to describe a state or experience of joy that unfolds or reveals itself progressively. It conveys a sense of joy that is not immediate but develops over time, often through a process of understanding or revelation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, joy was often associated with festivals, celebrations, and religious experiences. The concept of joy unfolding suggests a deeper, more profound experience that aligns with the Hebrew understanding of life as a journey of discovery and revelation. This aligns with the biblical theme of joy being found in God's presence and His unfolding plan for humanity.
