However, the Greek word "σκύβαλον" (skubalon, Strong's G4657), meaning refuse or rubbish, can be seen as a conceptual parallel.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Hebrew word "gelal" is used in the Old Testament to refer to dung or refuse. It is often used in contexts that describe uncleanliness or something that is to be discarded. The term is used metaphorically to signify worthlessness or something that is to be rejected.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, dung was considered unclean and was often associated with waste and impurity. The disposal of dung was necessary for maintaining ritual cleanliness, especially in the context of religious practices and temple worship. The use of "gelal" in the Hebrew Bible reflects the cultural understanding of purity and impurity, which was central to the Israelites' covenant relationship with God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) from a word corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/1556.htm">galal</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a rolling<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>huge (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">גְּלָל</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>rolling</b></font>;
