Strong's Lexicon giyl: To rejoice, be glad, exult Original Word: גִּיל Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5463 (χαίρω, chairō): To rejoice, be glad - G21 (ἀγαλλιάω, agalliaō): To exult, rejoice greatly Usage: The Hebrew verb "giyl" primarily conveys a sense of joy and gladness. It is often used in the context of expressing exuberant, triumphant joy, often in response to God's actions or presence. This term is frequently associated with worship and celebration, reflecting a deep, heartfelt response to divine intervention or blessing. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, expressions of joy and celebration were integral to religious and communal life. Festivals, victories, and divine deliverance were occasions for public rejoicing. The Hebrew concept of joy was not merely an emotional response but a profound acknowledgment of God's faithfulness and sovereignty. "Giyl" captures this holistic sense of joy that encompasses both individual and communal expressions of faith.
