Strong's Lexicon peullah: Work, deed, recompense, reward Original Word: פְעֻלָּה Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּעַל (pa'al), meaning "to do" or "to make." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2041 (ergon): Often translated as "work" or "deed," similar in meaning to "peullah." - G3408 (misthos): Meaning "wages" or "reward," reflecting the recompense aspect of "peullah." Usage: The Hebrew word "peullah" primarily refers to work or labor, often emphasizing the result or reward of such efforts. It can denote both the physical act of working and the abstract concept of the outcome or recompense for one's labor. In the biblical context, it is frequently used to describe the deeds of individuals, the work of God, or the rewards given for actions. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, work was a fundamental aspect of daily life, encompassing agricultural labor, craftsmanship, and various trades. The concept of "peullah" reflects the value placed on diligent work and the expectation of fair recompense. This aligns with the broader biblical theme of justice and the principle that one reaps what one sows. The term also underscores the belief in divine justice, where God rewards or punishes individuals based on their deeds.
