Topical Lexicon Word Origin: The word שְׂלָו (selav) is of uncertain derivation.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entry for the Hebrew word שְׂלָו (selav) as it specifically refers to a Hebrew term used in the Old Testament. However, the concept of quail as a provision from God is echoed in the New Testament through themes of divine provision and sustenance, though not directly linked to a specific Greek term for quail. Usage: The word שְׂלָו (selav) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the quail, particularly in the context of the miraculous provision of food for the Israelites during their wilderness journey. Context: The Hebrew word שְׂלָו (selav) appears in the context of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt and their subsequent wanderings in the wilderness. It is specifically mentioned in the books of Exodus and Numbers. In Exodus 16:13, the Berean Standard Bible (BSB) states, "That evening quail came and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp." This event is part of God's provision for the Israelites, supplying them with meat in the form of quail. Similarly, in Numbers 11:31-32, the BSB recounts, "Now a wind went out from the LORD and drove quail in from the sea; it brought them down all around the camp to about two cubits above the ground, for a day's journey in any direction. All that day and night and all the next day the people went out and gathered quail." These passages highlight the miraculous nature of the quail's appearance, emphasizing God's ability to provide for His people in times of need. The quail served as a tangible demonstration of divine sustenance and care, reinforcing the theme of reliance on God throughout the Israelites' journey.
