It is often used in contexts where there is a deep, heartfelt expression of gladness or delight. This term can be associated with both personal and communal expressions of joy, often in response to God's blessings or deliverance.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, expressions of joy were integral to religious and communal life. Festivals, victories, and divine interventions were occasions for public celebration and worship. The Hebrew concept of joy was not merely an emotional response but was deeply tied to one's relationship with God and the community. Joy was seen as a gift from God, a reflection of His favor and presence among His people.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to rejoice<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>delight (1), enjoy (1), flap joyously (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">עָלַס</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>rejoice</b></font> ("" with <font class="hebrew2">עָלַז</font>, <font class="hebrew2">עָלַץ</font>, q. v.;
