Strong's Lexicon tselel: Shadow, shade Original Word: צֵלֶל Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: tselel Pronunciation: tseh'-lel Phonetic Spelling: (tsay'-lel) Definition: Shadow, shade Meaning: shade Word Origin: Derived from the root צָלַל (tsalal), which means "to be or grow dark." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "shadow" is σκιά (skia), Strong's Greek 4639, which carries similar connotations of shade and protection. Usage: The Hebrew word "tselel" primarily refers to a shadow or shade, often used metaphorically to describe protection, transience, or the fleeting nature of life. In the biblical context, it can symbolize God's protective presence or the temporary nature of human existence. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of a shadow was significant. In a hot, arid climate, shade was a valuable and necessary respite from the sun's harshness. Thus, shadows were often associated with protection and relief. Biblically, the shadow can also represent the ephemeral nature of life, as seen in the poetic and wisdom literature of the Old Testament. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin the same as tsel, q.v.
