Berean Strong's Lexicon shalah: To be at ease, to be secure, to be tranquil Original Word: שָׁלָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1515 (eirēnē): Often translated as "peace," this Greek word captures the essence of tranquility and security, similar to "shalah." - G2272 (hēsychia): Meaning "quietness" or "rest," it reflects a state of calmness and peace. Usage: The Hebrew verb "shalah" conveys a sense of being at ease or in a state of security and tranquility. It often describes a condition of restfulness or complacency, sometimes with a connotation of false security or unwarranted confidence. The term can be used both positively, in the sense of genuine peace and rest, and negatively, implying a careless or heedless attitude. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of peace and security was highly valued, especially given the frequent threats from surrounding nations and the harshness of the natural environment. The idea of being "at ease" was often associated with divine blessing and favor. However, the prophets frequently warned against complacency and false security, urging the people to remain vigilant and faithful to God.
