Usage: The Hebrew verb "talah" primarily means "to hang" or "to suspend." It is used in various contexts in the Old Testament, often referring to the physical act of hanging something or someone. This can include hanging objects, as well as the execution method of hanging individuals, which was a form of capital punishment in ancient times.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, hanging was a method of execution and public display of justice. It served as a deterrent to others and a demonstration of the consequences of certain crimes. The act of hanging was not only a means of death but also a way to disgrace the individual, as their body was left exposed. This practice is reflected in various biblical narratives and legal texts.
