Berean Strong's Lexicon hala: Here, behold, lo Original Word: הֲלָא Word Origin: Aramaic origin, used in the context of the Hebrew Bible, particularly in the books written in Aramaic. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the Aramaic "hala," similar expressions of immediacy or emphasis in the Greek New Testament might include words like "ἰδού" (idou - behold) or "ὧδε" (hōde - here). Usage: The word "hala" is an Aramaic adverb used to draw attention to something present or to emphasize a point. It is often translated as "here" or "behold" in English. This term is used to direct the listener's or reader's focus to a particular statement or event, underscoring its importance or immediacy. Cultural and Historical Background: The use of Aramaic in the Hebrew Bible is primarily found in the books of Daniel and Ezra, reflecting the historical context of the Jewish exile and the influence of the Aramaic language during the Babylonian and Persian empires. Aramaic was the lingua franca of the Near East during this period, and its presence in the Bible highlights the cultural and linguistic interactions of the Jewish people with surrounding nations.
