It often describes individuals or groups who are economically disadvantaged or socially marginalized. The word conveys not only material lack but also a broader sense of vulnerability and neediness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, poverty was a significant social issue. The Law of Moses provided various provisions to protect and support the poor, such as gleaning laws and the Year of Jubilee. The concept of "dallah" reflects the societal structure where wealth and resources were unevenly distributed, and the community was called to care for the less fortunate. The poor were often seen as having a special place in God's heart, and their plight was a frequent subject of the prophets' messages.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I. <font class="hebrew2">דַּלָּה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> collective, <font size="+1"><b>hair, thrum</b></font> (both front hanging down) — <font class="hebrew2">דַּלָּה</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/38-12.htm">Isaiah 38:12</a>; construct <font class="hebrew2">דַּלַּת</font> Cant 7:6; — <em>hair</em>, <font class="hebrew2">ראשׁך</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ד</font> Cant 7:6; <em>thrum</em> (threads of warp hanging in loom) in simile of premature death <font class="hebrew2">מִדַּלָּה יְבַצְּעֵנִי</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/38-12.htm">Isaiah 38:12</a>. <p> II.
