Berean Strong's Lexicon hallezu: Praise Original Word: הללוּ Word Origin: Derived from the root הלל (halal), which means "to praise" or "to boast." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible) is αἰνέω (aineo, Strong's Greek 134), which also means "to praise." Usage: The term "hallezu" is a form of the verb "halal," which is commonly used in the Hebrew Bible to express praise, particularly in the context of worship and adoration of God. It is often used in imperative form, calling the community or individuals to praise the Lord. The word is closely associated with expressions of joy, celebration, and acknowledgment of God's greatness and deeds. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, praise was an integral part of religious life and community gatherings. The act of praising God was not only a personal expression of faith but also a communal activity that reinforced the identity and unity of the people. The Psalms, a central book in the Hebrew Bible, are filled with calls to praise, reflecting the importance of worship in Israelite culture. The use of musical instruments, singing, and dancing often accompanied these acts of praise, creating a vibrant and dynamic worship experience.
