Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents in the Strong's Concordance that correspond to the specific Hebrew term מַצְהָלָה. However, Greek terms related to sounds or cries, such as those used to describe the sounds of animals or expressions of emotion, may serve as conceptual parallels in the broader context of biblical language studies. Usage: The term מַצְהָלָה is used in the context of describing the sound of horses, particularly in a vivid or metaphorical sense. Context: מַצְהָלָה (matzhalah) appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe the distinctive sound made by horses, often used to convey imagery of strength, speed, or impending action. The term is found in the book of Jeremiah, where it is used to evoke the sound of horses in battle or movement, contributing to the dramatic and vivid imagery of the text. In Jeremiah 8:16, the prophet uses מַצְהָלָה to describe the sound of the approaching enemy, likening it to the whinnying of horses, which serves to heighten the sense of urgency and impending doom. This usage underscores the power and might of the invading forces, as well as the fear and anticipation they inspire. Example from the Berean Standard Bible (BSB): • Jeremiah 8:16: "The snorting of their horses is heard from Dan; the whole land trembles at the sound of the neighing of their stallions. They come to devour the land and everything in it, the city and all who dwell in it."
