Strong's Lexicon palash: To roll, to wallow Original Word: פָלַשׁ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "palash," the concept of mourning and repentance is captured in Greek terms such as "pentheo" (G3996), meaning to mourn or lament, and "metanoeo" (G3340), meaning to repent. Usage: The Hebrew verb "palash" primarily means to roll or wallow, often used in the context of rolling in dust or ashes as a sign of mourning or distress. It conveys a physical action that is often symbolic of a deeper emotional or spiritual state. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, including Israel, the act of rolling in dust or ashes was a common expression of grief, repentance, or humiliation. This physical act was a public demonstration of one's inner turmoil or penitence, often accompanying fasting and prayer. Such practices were deeply embedded in the cultural and religious life of the Israelites, reflecting their understanding of humility before God and the community.
