It is often used in the context of rolling stones or objects, as well as metaphorically to describe the removal or taking away of reproach or burdens. The action of rolling can imply a sense of movement or transition, often signifying a change in state or condition.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, stones were commonly used for various practical purposes, such as sealing tombs or wells. The act of rolling a stone could symbolize significant events, such as the opening of a grave or the removal of an obstacle. In the Hebrew Bible, the concept of rolling away reproach or burdens is deeply connected to themes of redemption and divine intervention.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1556.htm">galal</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>two Levites<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Galal (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> III. <font class="hebrew2">גָּלָל</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>of two Levites</b></font>;
