Berean Strong's Lexicon shalvah: Tranquility, prosperity, security, ease Original Word: שַׁלְוָה Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁלָה (shalah), which means to be at rest or to prosper. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 1515 (εἰρήνη, eirēnē): Often translated as "peace," this Greek word shares a similar concept of tranquility and well-being. - Strong's Greek 2133 (εὐπορία, euporia): Meaning prosperity or abundance, reflecting the material aspect of "shalvah." Usage: The Hebrew word "shalvah" conveys a sense of tranquility, peace, and security, often associated with prosperity and ease. It is used to describe a state of being free from disturbance, where one experiences a sense of well-being and contentment. In the biblical context, "shalvah" can refer to both physical and spiritual peace, often seen as a blessing from God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of peace and security was highly valued, especially given the frequent threats from neighboring nations and the challenges of agrarian life.

This state was often seen as a sign of God's favor and blessing upon His people.
