Usage: The Hebrew word "ta'alah" refers to a channel or conduit, often used in the context of irrigation or water management. It signifies a constructed or natural passage through which water flows, essential for agriculture and sustaining life in arid regions. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, water management was crucial due to the region's dry climate. Channels and conduits were vital for directing water from natural sources to fields and settlements. These structures were often part of larger irrigation systems that supported agriculture, which was the backbone of the economy and daily life. The ability to control and distribute water effectively was a sign of wisdom and prosperity. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin from alah Definition a curse NASB Translation curse (1).
