Strong's Lexicon telal: Shadow, shade Original Word: טְלַל Word Origin: Derived from the root טָלַל (talal), which means "to cover" or "to overshadow." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is σκιά (skia), Strong's Greek 4639, which also means shadow or shade. Usage: The Hebrew word "telal" refers to a shadow or shade, often used metaphorically to describe protection, refuge, or the fleeting nature of life. In the biblical context, it can signify God's protective presence or the temporary and insubstantial nature of human existence. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, the harsh sun and arid climate made shade a valuable and sought-after commodity. Shade provided relief and protection from the heat, making it a powerful metaphor for divine protection and care. In biblical literature, the imagery of shade is often used to convey God's sheltering presence over His people, as well as the transient nature of human life, akin to a shadow that quickly passes.
