Strong's Lexicon shelach: Weapon, missile, dart, spear Original Word: שֶׁלַח Word Origin: From the root verb שָׁלַח (shalach), meaning "to send" or "to stretch out." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "shelach," related concepts of weapons and warfare can be found in Greek terms such as "δόρυ" (dory, meaning spear) and "βέλος" (belos, meaning missile or dart). Usage: The Hebrew word "shelach" primarily refers to a weapon, specifically a missile, dart, or spear. It is used in the context of warfare and hunting, indicating an object that is thrown or projected towards a target. The term emphasizes the action of sending forth or launching, consistent with its root verb שָׁלַח (shalach).
