Strong's Lexicon shalab: To entwine, to interweave Original Word: שָׁלַב Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "shalab," the concept of intertwining or unity can be related to Greek terms such as "συμβάλλω" (sumballo - to bring together, to unite) and "συνεκλεκτός" (suneklektos - chosen together, united). Usage: The Hebrew verb "shalab" primarily means to entwine or interweave. It conveys the idea of intertwining or interlocking, often used in the context of craftsmanship or construction. The term suggests a careful and deliberate process of weaving or joining together, indicating strength and unity in the resulting structure. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, weaving and craftsmanship were essential skills, particularly in the construction of the Tabernacle and the Temple. The use of "shalab" in the context of weaving or interlocking materials reflects the importance of skilled labor and the value placed on creating strong, unified structures. This concept of intertwining can also be seen metaphorically in relationships and community, where unity and strength are achieved through interconnectedness.
