Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root רֶגֶל (regel), meaning "foot."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3979: πεζός (pezos) • This Greek term is used in the New Testament to refer to those who travel on foot, similar to the Hebrew רגלי.
• G5001: στρατιώτης (stratiotes) • While this Greek term specifically means "soldier," it can encompass both foot soldiers and those in other military roles, aligning with the broader military context of רגלי.

Usage: The term רגלי is used in the context of describing individuals who travel or serve on foot, often in a military capacity. It is used to denote foot soldiers or infantrymen in various passages of the Hebrew Bible.

Context: • The Hebrew term רגלי (ragli) appears in several Old Testament passages, primarily in the context of military descriptions. It is used to refer to foot soldiers, distinguishing them from cavalry or charioteers. The term emphasizes the mode of travel or combat, highlighting the reliance on foot movement rather than mounted or wheeled transport.
• In the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), רגלי is translated as "footman" or "infantry," depending on the context. For example, in 1 Samuel 22:17, the term is used to describe the king's guards who were ordered to kill the priests of Nob: "Then the king ordered the guards standing by him, 'Turn and kill the priests of the LORD, because their hand is with David.'"
• The role of foot soldiers was crucial in ancient warfare, as they formed the backbone of military forces. They were often equipped with basic weapons and armor, and their effectiveness depended on discipline, training, and numbers.
• רגלי also appears in non-military contexts, where it simply refers to individuals traveling on foot, highlighting the commonality of pedestrian travel in ancient times.
