Strong's Lexicon shalag: To snow Original Word: שָׁלַג Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: shalag Pronunciation: shah-lag' Phonetic Spelling: (shaw-lag') Definition: to be snow-white Meaning: To be snow-white Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3022 λευκός (leukos): meaning "white," often used in the New Testament to describe garments or appearances that are bright and pure, similar to the Hebrew concept of being snow-white. • G5510 χιών (chion): meaning "snow," used in the New Testament to describe the whiteness of snow, paralleling the Hebrew imagery of purity and cleansing. Usage: This verb is used in the context of describing something as being white like snow, often symbolizing purity or cleansing. Context: The Hebrew verb שָׁלַג (shalag) is a primitive root that conveys the idea of being white as snow. This term is used metaphorically in the Hebrew Bible to describe purity, transformation, or cleansing. The imagery of snow is often associated with divine purity and the removal of sin. In the context of biblical literature, snow is a natural element that is rare in the geographical setting of Israel, thus its whiteness is striking and memorable. The use of שָׁלַג in the scriptures emphasizes the contrast between the stained or impure and the pure, often in a spiritual or moral sense. The transformation to a snow-white state is symbolic of divine intervention or forgiveness, as seen in various biblical passages.
