Strong's Lexicon Bali: "Worn out," "decayed," "without." Original Word: בַּעֲלִי Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּלָה (balah), meaning "to wear out" or "to waste away." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "Bali," the concept of decay or wearing out can be found in Greek words such as φθείρω (phtheiro, Strong's G5351), meaning "to corrupt" or "to destroy." Usage: The Hebrew word "Bali" is used to convey the idea of something being worn out, decayed, or lacking. It often appears in contexts that describe a state of being without something essential or in a condition of deterioration. The term can also imply a sense of incompleteness or deficiency. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of being "worn out" or "decayed" was often associated with the natural process of aging or the wearing down of materials over time. This idea was not only applied to physical objects but also metaphorically to describe spiritual or moral decay. The Israelites, living in a world where resources were precious and preservation was crucial, would have understood the significance of something being "bali" as a call to renewal or restoration.
