Berean Strong's Lexicon
shal: Prosperity, ease, tranquility

Original Word: שַׁל
Part of Speech: Noun Masculine
Transliteration: shal
Pronunciation: shahl
Phonetic Spelling: (shal)
Definition: Prosperity, ease, tranquility
Meaning: a fault

Word Origin: Derived from a root word meaning "to be at ease" or "to be quiet."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is εἰρήνη (eirēnē), which also means peace or tranquility. This term is used extensively in the New Testament to describe the peace that comes from a relationship with Christ.

Usage: The Hebrew word "shal" is used to denote a state of prosperity, ease, or tranquility. It often conveys a sense of peace and well-being, both in a material and spiritual sense. In the biblical context, it can refer to the peace and prosperity that comes from living in accordance with God's will.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, prosperity and peace were seen as blessings from God, often associated with obedience to His commandments. The concept of "shal" would have been understood as a holistic state of well-being, encompassing physical, emotional, and spiritual health. This reflects the broader Hebrew understanding of peace (shalom) as not merely the absence of conflict but the presence of positive blessings.
