It is used to describe acts of devotion and service, particularly in relation to God or deities. The term can also imply labor or work, emphasizing the effort and dedication involved in the act of service.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, service and worship were integral parts of daily life and religious practice. The concept of serving a deity was not only about ritualistic worship but also encompassed a lifestyle of dedication and obedience. In the Hebrew Bible, serving God was seen as a covenantal duty, reflecting loyalty and reverence towards the Creator. The use of "pelach" in the biblical text underscores the importance of wholehearted devotion and the acknowledgment of God's sovereignty.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6398.htm">palach</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>cleavage, a millstone<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>millstone (1), piece (1), slice (2).<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">מֶּ֫לַח</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/job/41-16.htm">Job 41:16</a> <font size="+1"><b>cleavage, mill-stone</b></font> (mill <em>cleft</em> between the stones ? compare GFM<sup>Ju</sup>; <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> <font class="hebrew2">מִּלְחָא</font>); — <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">פ</font> absolute <a href="/interlinear/job/41-16.htm">Job 41:16</a>, elsewhere construct; — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1.a.</b></font> <em>mill-stone</em>, <font class="hebrew2">רֶכֶב</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">פ</font> <em>mill-stone of riding</em>, i.e. upper stone, which is turned (compare <font class="hebrew2">רֶכֶב</font>), <a href="/interlinear/judges/9-53.htm">Judges 9:53</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/11-21.htm">2 Samuel 11:21</a>; <font class="hebrew2">תַּחְתִּית</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">פ</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/41-16.htm">Job 41:16</a> <em>lower mill-stone</em> (simile of hardness).<p> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>b.</b></font> <font class="hebrew2">דְּבֵלָה</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">פ</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/30-12.htm">1 Samuel 30:12</a> <em>a cake of figs</em> (from shape ?). <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> <em>cleavge, split</em>, hence <em>slice</em> <font class="hebrew2">הָרִמּוֺן</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">פ</font> <a href="/interlinear/songs/4-3.htm">Songs 4:3</a>=<a href="/interlinear/songs/6-7.htm">Songs 6:7</a> simile of human temple (from colour, compare Wetzst in De<sup>Comm.
