It is used in contexts where verbal communication or expression is involved. The term emphasizes the act of speaking, often in a formal or significant manner.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, spoken words held significant power and authority. The act of speaking was not merely a means of communication but was often seen as a way to convey divine messages, make covenants, or pronounce blessings and curses. The Hebrew language itself is rich in verbs related to speech, reflecting the importance of oral tradition and communication in the ancient Near Eastern context.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/4448.htm">malal</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to speak, say<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>speak (1), speaking (1), spoke (1), uttering (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">מְלַל</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb Pa`el</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>speak, say</b></font> (so <font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> Syriac; compare Biblical Hebrew <font class="hebrew2">מלל</font> <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Pi`el</b></font> (rare)); — <em>Perfect</em>3masculine singular <font class="hebrew2">מַלֵּל</font> <a href="/interlinear/daniel/6-22.htm">Daniel 6:22</a> <em>he spoke</em> with (<font class="hebrew2">עִם</font> person); accusative of words, <em>Imperfect</em>3masculine singular <font class="hebrew2">י֫מַלִּ֔ל</font> <a href="/interlinear/daniel/7-25.htm">Daniel 7:25</a> (with <font class="hebrew2">לְצַד</font> of God); so <em>Participle active</em> <font class="hebrew2">מְמַלִּל</font> <a href="/interlinear/daniel/7-8.htm">Daniel 7:8</a> (van d.
