Strong's Lexicon raal: To reel, to stagger, to tremble Original Word: רָעַל Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: ra`al Pronunciation: rah-ahl Phonetic Spelling: (raw-al') Definition: to reel, to brandish Meaning: To reel, to brandish Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2350 (θροέω, throeō): To be troubled, to be disturbed. This Greek term conveys a sense of agitation or disturbance, similar to the Hebrew concept of reeling or trembling. • G4531 (σαλεύω, saleuō): To shake, to cause to move to and fro. This Greek word aligns closely with the Hebrew רָעַל (ra'al) in its depiction of physical or metaphorical shaking or instability. In the Berean Standard Bible, the concept of reeling or staggering is often used to illustrate the profound impact of divine intervention or the consequences of human actions, emphasizing the power and sovereignty of God over creation and nations. Usage: The verb רָעַל (ra'al) is used in the context of movement, often describing a swaying or staggering motion. It can imply a physical reeling or a metaphorical shaking, such as the trembling of the earth or the staggering of a person. Context: The Hebrew verb רָעַל (ra'al) appears in the Old Testament to describe a motion that is unsteady or wavering. This term is often associated with the effects of intoxication or divine judgment, where individuals or objects are depicted as reeling or staggering. The imagery of reeling is used to convey instability, whether it be physical, emotional, or spiritual. In the context of divine judgment, it can symbolize the overwhelming power of God's wrath causing the earth or nations to tremble. The term is also used in poetic and prophetic literature to evoke a sense of awe or fear, as the natural world or human beings respond to the presence or actions of the divine.
