Strong's Lexicon pili or pali: Distinction, wonder, marvel Original Word: פִלְאִי Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּלָה (palah), meaning "to be distinct" or "to be separated." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is θαυμαστός (thaumastos), Strong's Greek #2298, which also conveys the idea of something being marvelous or wonderful. Usage: The Hebrew word "pili" or "pali" is used to denote something that is extraordinary or set apart, often in the context of divine acts or characteristics that inspire awe and wonder. It conveys the idea of something being distinct or unique, often highlighting the miraculous or the wondrous nature of God's works. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of something being "set apart" or "distinct" was significant, especially in relation to the divine. The Israelites understood their God, Yahweh, as being distinct from the gods of surrounding nations, and His acts were often described as wondrous or miraculous. This term would have resonated with the Israelites as they experienced and recounted the mighty works of God throughout their history.
