It is used in contexts involving travel or the imposition of a tax or duty on goods being transported. Word Origin: This Aramaic term is derived from the root word הֲלַךְ (halak), which is related to the concept of going or walking. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 4198 (πορεύομαι, poreuomai): This Greek term means "to go" or "to travel," and it is often used in the New Testament to describe journeys or movements from one place to another. • Strong's Greek Number 5056 (τέλος, telos): While not a direct equivalent, this term can relate to the concept of a "tax" or "duty," as it is sometimes used in the context of financial obligations or end goals. The use of הֲלָךְ in the biblical text highlights the economic and administrative concerns of ancient empires, reflecting the importance of trade and taxation in maintaining control over territories and ensuring the flow of resources. Usage: The word הֲלָךְ appears in the context of ancient trade and travel, where it denotes the toll or duty levied on goods as they are transported along a road. This term is specifically used in the Aramaic portions of the Hebrew Bible. Context: The term הֲלָךְ is found in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, particularly in the book of Ezra. In Ezra 4:13, the term is used to describe the toll or tribute that would be lost if the city of Jerusalem were to be rebuilt and fortified. The context suggests a concern from the Persian officials that the reconstruction of Jerusalem would lead to a loss of revenue from tolls and taxes, which were significant sources of income for the empire. The imposition of such tolls was a common practice in the ancient Near East, serving as a means of controlling trade routes and generating revenue for governing authorities.
