It often describes a condition of restfulness or complacency, sometimes with a connotation of false security or unwarranted confidence. The term can be used both positively, in the sense of genuine peace and rest, and negatively, implying a careless or heedless attitude.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of peace and security was highly valued, especially given the frequent threats from surrounding nations and the harshness of the natural environment. The idea of being "at ease" was often associated with divine blessing and favor. However, the prophets frequently warned against complacency and false security, urging the people to remain vigilant and faithful to God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) see <a href="/hebrew/7960.htm">shalu</a>. shelah<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>see NH7596.<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">שָׁלוּ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>neglect, remissness</b></font> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> <em>id.</em>); — absolute <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">שׁ</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezra/4-22.htm">Ezra 4:22</a>; <a href="/interlinear/ezra/6-9.htm">Ezra 6:9</a>; <a href="/interlinear/daniel/6-5.htm">Daniel 6:5</a> + <a href="/interlinear/daniel/3-29.htm">Daniel 3:29</a> Qr; Kt <font class="hebrew2">שׁלה</font> usually thought an error for <font class="hebrew2">שׁלו</font>; Hi Bev M (perhaps) explained as <font class="hebrew2">שֵׁלָה</font> = <font class="hebrew2">שְׁאֵלָה</font> = <em>thing, affair</em> (Dan 4:14). <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>thing amiss <p>(Aramaic) from a root corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/7952.htm">shalah</a>; a wrong -- thing amiss. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/7952.htm">shalah</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>שָׁלוּ֙ שלו šā·lū šālū shaLu<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/daniel/3-29.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Daniel 3:29</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/3.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">[שֵׁלָה כ] <b> (שָׁלוּ֙ </b> ק) עַ֣ל</span><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/3-29.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> who speaks <span class="itali">thing amiss</span> against the God<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7955.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7955.htm">Strong's Hebrew 7955<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/shalu_7955.htm">šā·lū — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/7954.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="7954"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="7954" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/7956.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="7956"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="7956" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
