Usage: The term תַּאֲלָה (ta'alah) is used in the context of invoking a curse or expressing a solemn oath, often with the implication of divine retribution or judgment. Context: The Hebrew word תַּאֲלָה (ta'alah) is a noun that signifies an imprecation or curse. It is closely related to the concept of an oath, where the speaker calls upon divine powers to enforce the truth of a statement or the fulfillment of a promise. In the biblical context, curses were often pronounced as a form of divine judgment against those who violated covenants or commandments. The use of תַּאֲלָה reflects the seriousness with which oaths and covenants were regarded in ancient Israelite society, where invoking a curse was a means of ensuring accountability and justice. The term is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, but its presence underscores the gravity of invoking divine wrath.
