Berean Strong's Lexicon belil: Mixture, mixed, mingled Original Word: בְּלִיל Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּלַל (balal), meaning "to mix" or "to mingle." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of mixing or mingling can be related to Greek words such as μίγμα (migma) or μίξις (mixis), which also denote mixtures or combinations. These terms are used in the Septuagint and New Testament to convey similar ideas of blending or combining elements. Usage: The Hebrew word "belil" refers to a mixture or something that is mixed or mingled. It is used in the context of combining different elements, often implying a blending that results in a new composition. In the biblical context, it can refer to physical mixtures, such as ingredients in a recipe, or metaphorically to mixed actions or behaviors. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of mixing had both practical and symbolic significance. Practically, mixtures were common in cooking, medicine, and construction. Symbolically, mixing could represent the blending of cultures, ideas, or practices, which was often viewed with caution in the context of maintaining religious purity and distinctiveness. The Israelites were frequently warned against mixing with pagan practices or intermarrying with surrounding nations to preserve their covenant relationship with God.
