Strong's Lexicon shalah: To be at ease, to be secure, to prosper Original Word: שָׁלָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1515 (eirēnē): Often translated as "peace," this Greek word captures a similar sense of tranquility and security. - G2132 (euthymeō): Meaning to be of good cheer or to be encouraged, reflecting a state of well-being. Usage: The Hebrew verb "shalah" primarily conveys a sense of being at ease or secure, often with an implication of prosperity or tranquility. It is used to describe a state of restfulness or complacency, sometimes with a negative connotation of false security or neglect of spiritual vigilance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, security and prosperity were often seen as blessings from God, associated with obedience to His commandments. However, the prophets frequently warned against complacency and self-reliance, urging the people to remain vigilant in their faith and dependence on God. The concept of "shalah" reflects this tension between enjoying God's blessings and the danger of becoming spiritually lax. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originthe same as shalah, q.v.
