It is used to describe a state of joy or happiness, often in the context of celebration or positive emotional expression. This term is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, but when it appears, it emphasizes a heartfelt and genuine sense of joy.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, expressions of joy and gladness were often associated with religious festivals, communal gatherings, and personal milestones. Joy was seen as a gift from God, a reflection of His blessings and favor. The Hebrew people valued communal expressions of joy, which were often accompanied by music, dance, and feasting. The concept of joy was deeply intertwined with spiritual well-being and the acknowledgment of God's providence.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to gleam, smile<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cheerful (1), flashes forth (1), have a cheer (1), smile (1).<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">בָּלַג</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>gleam, smile</b></font> (Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb011408.gif">) — only <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Hiph`il</b></font> <em>Imperfect</em>1singular with <font class="hebrew2">וְ</font> subordinate <font class="hebrew2">וְאַבְ֫לִיגָה</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/9-27.htm">Job 9:27</a> 2t.;
