Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root קָלַע (qalʿ), which means "to sling" or "to throw."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for קֶלַע in the Strong's Greek lexicon. However, related concepts might be found in Greek terms for weapons or architectural elements, such as σφενδόνη (sphendonē) for "sling" or καταπέτασμα (katapetasma) for "curtain" or "veil." Usage: The word קֶלַע is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe both a physical sling used in warfare and hunting, as well as a component of the tabernacle's structure, specifically the curtains or screens that formed part of its enclosure. Context: • Sling: The sling was a common weapon in ancient Israel, used by shepherds and soldiers alike. It consisted of a pouch attached to two cords, used to hurl stones with great force and accuracy. The most famous biblical account involving a sling is the story of David and Goliath, where David uses a sling to defeat the Philistine giant (1 Samuel 17:49). The sling was valued for its simplicity and effectiveness, often used by skilled warriors in battle.
