Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "tsalal," the concept of trembling or quivering in response to divine revelation can be related to Greek words like "τρέμω" (tremō, Strong's G5141), meaning to tremble or quake.

Usage: The Hebrew verb "tsalal" primarily conveys the idea of a physical or sensory reaction, such as tingling or quivering. It is often used in the context of a sound or sensation that causes a reaction, typically one of alarm or awe. The word can also imply a trembling or shaking, often associated with fear or reverence.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, sensory experiences were often seen as direct interactions with the divine or the spiritual realm. Sounds, in particular, were significant in religious and communal life, from the blowing of the shofar to the singing of psalms. The reaction of tingling or quivering could be associated with the presence of God or a prophetic revelation, indicating a heightened state of awareness or spiritual sensitivity.
