It is used in the context of mourning or expressing deep sorrow, typically in response to calamity or divine judgment.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, including Israel, public expressions of grief were common and often involved loud wailing or howling. This was a way to express profound sorrow and to involve the community in mourning. Such practices were part of the cultural fabric and were often accompanied by other mourning rituals, such as wearing sackcloth or ashes.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/3213.htm">yalal</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a howling<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>howling (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">יְלֵל</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>howling</b></font> (of beasts); — <font class="hebrew2">וּבְתֹהוּ</font> <font class="hebrew2">יְלֵל יְשִׁמֹ֑ן</font> <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/32-10.htm">Deuteronomy 32:10</a> <em>in a waste of howling of a desert (= in the howling waste of a desert</em>; see Dr). <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>a howl; howling <p>From <a href="/hebrew/3213.htm">yalal</a>; a howl; -howling. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/3213.htm">yalal</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>יְלֵ֣ל ילל yə·lêl yeLel yəlêl<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/deuteronomy/32-10.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Deuteronomy 32:10</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/32.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">מִדְבָּ֔ר וּבְתֹ֖הוּ <b> יְלֵ֣ל </b> יְשִׁמֹ֑ן יְסֹֽבְבֶ֙נְהוּ֙</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/deuteronomy/32.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> land, <span class="itali">And in the howling</span> waste<br><a href="/kjvs/deuteronomy/32.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> and in the waste <span class="itali">howling</span> wilderness;<br><a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/32-10.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> A desert waste <span class="itali">the howling</span> of a wilderness encircled<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3214.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3214.htm">Strong's Hebrew 3214<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/yelel_3214.htm">yə·lêl — 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/3213.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="3213"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="3213" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/3215.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="3215"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="3215" /></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>
