Strong's Lexicon palah: To be distinct, to be separated, to be distinguished, to be wonderful Original Word: פָלָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2296 (θαυμάζω, thaumazō) - to wonder, to marvel - G5059 (τεθαυμάσται, tethaumastai) - to be amazed, to be astonished Usage: The Hebrew verb "palah" primarily conveys the idea of being set apart or distinguished, often in a manner that is extraordinary or wonderful. It is used to describe actions or events that are remarkable or miraculous, highlighting the distinctiveness of God's works or the people He chooses to set apart for His purposes. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of being set apart or distinguished was significant in both religious and social spheres. The Israelites, as God's chosen people, were often described as being set apart from other nations. This distinction was not only in terms of religious practices but also in their moral and ethical conduct, which was meant to reflect the holiness of God. The use of "palah" in the Hebrew Bible underscores the miraculous and divine nature of God's interventions in history, as well as the special status of those He chooses to set apart for His purposes.
