Strong's Lexicon Galal: To roll, roll away, roll down Original Word: גָּלָל Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "galal," the concept of rolling away or removing can be seen in Greek words like "ἀποκυλίω" (apokulio), used in the New Testament, such as in the context of rolling away the stone from Jesus' tomb (Mark 16:3-4). Usage: The Hebrew verb "galal" primarily means "to roll" or "to roll away." It is often used in the context of rolling stones or objects, as well as metaphorically to describe the removal or taking away of reproach or burdens. The action of rolling can imply a sense of movement or transition, often signifying a change in state or condition. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, stones were commonly used for various practical purposes, such as sealing tombs or wells. The act of rolling a stone could symbolize significant events, such as the opening of a grave or the removal of an obstacle. In the Hebrew Bible, the concept of rolling away reproach or burdens is deeply connected to themes of redemption and divine intervention.
