Strong's Lexicon shalah or shale: To be at ease, to be secure, to be tranquil Original Word: שָׁלָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 1515 (εἰρήνη, eirēnē): Often translated as "peace," this Greek term shares a similar semantic range with "shalah," encompassing both external peace and internal tranquility. - Strong's Greek 2272 (ἡσυχία, hēsychia): Meaning "quietness" or "rest," this term aligns with the concept of being at ease or tranquil. Usage: The Hebrew word "shalah" or "shalev" primarily conveys a sense of ease, security, or tranquility. It is often used to describe a state of being free from disturbance or anxiety, suggesting a peaceful and undisturbed condition. This term can be applied both in a physical sense, such as being free from war or conflict, and in a spiritual or emotional sense, indicating a state of inner peace and contentment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of peace and security was highly valued, especially given the frequent threats from neighboring nations and the harshness of the natural environment. The idea of being "at ease" or "secure" was not only a physical state but also a reflection of one's relationship with God. A life of tranquility was often seen as a blessing from God, indicative of His favor and protection.
