Strong's Lexicon alal: To act severely, deal with severely, abuse, mock, make a fool of, act wantonly Original Word: עָלל Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: `alal Pronunciation: ah-LAHL Phonetic Spelling: (al-al') Definition: To act severely, deal with severely, abuse, mock, make a fool of, act wantonly Meaning: to enter, to introduce Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "alal," the concept of mocking or abusive behavior can be seen in Greek words such as "ἐμπαίζω" (empaizo - to mock) and "ὑβρίζω" (hubrizo - to insult, treat shamefully). Usage: The Hebrew verb "alal" primarily conveys actions of severity or wantonness. It is often used to describe behavior that is harsh, mocking, or abusive. The term can also imply making a fool of someone or acting in a way that is reckless or without regard for others. In the context of the Old Testament, it frequently appears in narratives where individuals or groups are subjected to harsh treatment or derision. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, actions described by "alal" would have been understood within the context of honor and shame societies. Mocking or abusing someone could lead to a loss of honor, both for the individual and their family. Such actions were often seen in the context of warfare, social conflict, or divine judgment. The severity of actions described by "alal" reflects the harsh realities of life in ancient times, where power dynamics often led to the oppression or humiliation of the vulnerable.
