Part of Speech: Verb
Transliteration: shalah
Pronunciation: shah-LAH
Phonetic Spelling: (shaw-law')
Definition: Prosperity, ease, security, tranquility

Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁלָה (shalah), which means to be at rest or to prosper.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 1515 (εἰρήνη, eirēnē): Often translated as "peace," this Greek term shares a similar concept of tranquility and well-being.

- Strong's Greek 2133 (εὐπορία, euporia): Meaning "prosperity" or "abundance," it aligns with the idea of material and spiritual well-being.

Usage: The Hebrew word "shalah" primarily conveys a sense of tranquility, ease, or prosperity. It is often used to describe a state of peace and security, both in a physical and spiritual sense. This term can refer to the absence of conflict or the presence of abundant blessings and well-being.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of "shalah" was closely tied to the covenant relationship with God. Prosperity and peace were seen as blessings from God for obedience and faithfulness. Conversely, a lack of "shalah" could be interpreted as a sign of divine displeasure or judgment. The Israelites valued peace and security as essential components of a blessed life, often seeking them through adherence to God's laws and commands.
