The term "gelilah" reflects the concept of a defined area within the larger landscape of the Promised Land. This concept was important for tribal inheritances and the organization of the Israelite society. The most notable "gelilah" is the region of Galilee, which played a significant role in the New Testament as the area where Jesus conducted much of His ministry.<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>a circuit, boundary, territory, also a district in Pal.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Galilee (1), region (3), regions (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">גְּלִילָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>circuit, boundary, territory</b></font> — <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ג</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/47-8.htm">Ezekiel 47:8</a>;
