Strong's Lexicon gelilah: Region, district, circuit Original Word: גְלִילָה Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּלַל (galal), meaning "to roll" or "to encircle." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1056 (Γαλιλαία, Galilaia) – Referring to Galilee, the region in northern Israel. Usage: The term "gelilah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a region or district, often referring to a geographical area that is encircled or defined by certain boundaries. It can also imply a circuit or a round, indicating a sense of enclosure or a defined space. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, regions were often defined by natural boundaries such as rivers, mountains, or other geographical features. The term "gelilah" reflects the concept of a defined area within the larger landscape of the Promised Land. This concept was important for tribal inheritances and the organization of the Israelite society. The most notable "gelilah" is the region of Galilee, which played a significant role in the New Testament as the area where Jesus conducted much of His ministry.
