Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּלַל (galal), which means "to roll" or "to turn."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The corresponding Greek entry is Strong's G4762, τρέπω (trepō), which means "to turn" or "to change." This Greek term shares the conceptual idea of movement or change in direction, similar to the Hebrew גָּלִיל, which involves turning or revolving mechanisms.

Usage: The word גָּלִיל is used in the context of describing objects that have a circular or revolving nature, such as a ring or a component of a door that allows it to pivot or fold.

Context: • The Hebrew term גָּלִיל (Galil) is relatively rare in the biblical text. It is associated with objects that have a circular form or function, such as rings or parts of mechanisms that allow movement or rotation. The concept of rolling or turning is central to its meaning, reflecting the physical characteristics of the objects it describes.
• In the broader biblical context, the root גָּלַל (galal) is often used to describe actions involving rolling or turning, such as rolling stones or turning wheels. This root connection emphasizes the functional aspect of גָּלִיל as a component that facilitates movement or closure, such as in doors or other structures.
• The term is not frequently encountered in the biblical narrative, but its presence underscores the importance of functional design in ancient construction and craftsmanship, where circular and revolving elements were integral to the operation of various devices and structures.
