Strong's Lexicon palal: To pray, to intercede, to judge Original Word: פָלַל Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4336 (proseuchomai): To pray - G1783 (enteuxis): Intercession Usage: The Hebrew verb "palal" primarily means to pray or to intercede. It conveys the act of seeking divine intervention or judgment, often in a formal or earnest manner. The term is used to describe the act of making supplications or petitions to God, reflecting a deep sense of dependence on divine will and guidance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, prayer was a central aspect of religious life, serving as a means of communication with God. The act of praying was not only a personal expression of faith but also a communal activity, often led by priests or prophets. Intercessory prayer, in particular, was seen as a powerful tool for seeking God's favor or intervention on behalf of others. The concept of prayer in the Hebrew Bible is deeply intertwined with the covenant relationship between God and His people, emphasizing themes of repentance, thanksgiving, and supplication.
