It is often used to describe a state of great happiness or celebration, typically in response to God's blessings or deliverance. The term suggests a deep, heartfelt rejoicing that is both communal and individual, reflecting a profound sense of gratitude and worship.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, expressions of joy and exultation were integral to religious and communal life. Festivals, victories, and divine interventions were often marked by public celebrations, singing, and dancing. The concept of "alitsuth" would have been understood as a natural and expected response to God's faithfulness and provision. This joy was not merely emotional but was seen as a spiritual act of worship and acknowledgment of God's sovereignty and goodness.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5970.htm">alats</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>exultation<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>exultation (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">עֲלִיצוּת</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>exultation</b></font>;
