Strong's Lexicon teballul: Confusion, mixture Original Word: תְּבַּלֻּל Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּלַל (balal), meaning "to mix" or "to mingle." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with confusion or disorder is ἀκαταστασία (akatastasia), Strong's Greek #181, which appears in contexts discussing disorder or instability, such as in 1 Corinthians 14:33, "For God is not a God of disorder, but of peace." Usage: The term "teballul" is used to denote a state of confusion or a mixture of elements that leads to disorder. It is often associated with a lack of clarity or a blending that results in chaos. In a biblical context, it can refer to both physical and metaphorical confusion. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, clarity and order were highly valued, both in religious practices and in daily life. The concept of "teballul" would have been understood as a negative state, one that disrupts the harmony and order that God intended for His creation. The idea of confusion is often linked to divine judgment or the consequences of turning away from God's commandments.
