Strong's Lexicon bal: Not, no, without Original Word: בָּל Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: bal Pronunciation: bahl Phonetic Spelling: (bawl) Definition: Not, no, without Meaning: anxiety, the heart Word Origin: A primitive particle Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence in Greek for the Hebrew "bal," the concept of negation is similarly expressed in Greek with words like "οὐ" (ou) and "μή" (mē), which are used to negate statements or commands. Usage: The Hebrew word "bal" is an adverb used to express negation or absence. It is often employed to convey the idea of "not" or "without," emphasizing the nonexistence or lack of something. In the context of biblical Hebrew, it is used to negate verbs or to indicate the absence of a condition or quality. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, language was a powerful tool for expressing theological and moral truths. The use of negation, such as "bal," was significant in emphasizing the holiness and distinctiveness of God’s commandments and the moral expectations placed upon His people. The concept of negation also played a role in the covenantal relationship between God and Israel, highlighting the consequences of disobedience and the absence of blessings when the covenant was broken.
