Strong's Lexicon tsalal: To tingle, quiver, or vibrate Original Word: צָלַל Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "tsalal," the concept of trembling or quivering in response to divine action can be related to Greek terms like "τρέμω" (tremō, Strong's G5141), which means to tremble or quake. Usage: The Hebrew verb "tsalal" primarily conveys the idea of a physical or sensory reaction, such as tingling or quivering. It is often used in the context of a sound or sensation that causes a reaction, typically one of alarm or awe. The term can also imply a sense of trembling or shaking, often in response to a divine or significant event. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, sensory experiences were often seen as indicators of divine presence or action. The physical reaction of tingling or quivering could be interpreted as a response to the holiness or power of God. This reflects a worldview where the physical and spiritual realms are closely intertwined, and where human beings are deeply affected by encounters with the divine.
