Strong's Lexicon taltelah: Heap, mound, or pile Original Word: טַלָטֵלָה Word Origin: Derived from the root תָּלַל (talal), which means "to heap up" or "to pile." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "taltelah," the concept of a heap or pile can be related to Greek words like σωρός (soros), meaning "heap" or "pile," used in contexts such as Matthew 13:30, where the tares are gathered into bundles. Usage: The Hebrew word "taltelah" refers to a physical heap or mound, often used in the context of a pile of stones or earth. It can denote a physical structure created by piling materials together, often for a specific purpose such as marking a boundary or commemorating an event. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, heaps or mounds of stones were commonly used as memorials or markers. These structures served as physical reminders of significant events, covenants, or divine interventions. For example, Jacob set up a heap of stones as a witness between him and Laban (Genesis 31:45-52). Such practices were integral to the nomadic and agrarian lifestyles of the Israelites, providing tangible markers in a landscape that was often traversed and shared among different tribes and peoples.
