However, the concept of "shade" or "shadow" can be related to Greek words like σκιά (skia), meaning "shadow."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Tsillah is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is the name of one of Lamech's wives, mentioned in the genealogies of Genesis. The name Tsillah can be understood to mean "shade" or "protection," reflecting a possible cultural significance of providing shelter or comfort.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, names often held significant meanings and were sometimes indicative of personal characteristics or familial hopes. Tsillah, as a name meaning "shade," might suggest a role of comfort or protection within her family. The practice of polygamy, as seen in Lamech's marriage to both Adah and Tsillah, was not uncommon in the patriarchal societies of the time, although it later became a point of ethical discussion in biblical narratives.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6751.htm">tsalal</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>wife of Lamech<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Zillah (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">צִלָּה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>wife of Lam.</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/4-19.htm">Genesis 4:19</a>,22,23, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Σελλα</font>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Zillah <p>Feminine of <a href="/hebrew/6738.htm">tsel</a>;
