This term is frequently used in the New Testament to describe the peace that comes from God, surpassing all understanding (Philippians 4:7).<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Hebrew word "sheleh" conveys a sense of ease, tranquility, or security. It is often used in contexts where there is a sense of peace or prosperity, either in a physical or spiritual sense. The term can imply a state of being free from disturbance or anxiety, often associated with divine blessing or favor.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of "sheleh" would have been highly valued, as it represented a state of well-being and divine favor. In a time when external threats and internal strife were common, achieving a state of "sheleh" would have been seen as a sign of God's blessing and protection. The Israelites often equated peace and prosperity with obedience to God's commandments and faithfulness to His covenant.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/7951.htm">shalah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>at ease<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>ease (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">שְׁלֵה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adjective</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>at ease</b></font> (Egyptian Aramaic Cooke<sup>210</sup>); — <font class="hebrew2">הֲוֵית בְּ</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">שׁ</font> <a href="/interlinear/daniel/4-1.htm">Daniel 4:1</a> <em>I was at ease in</em> my house. — <a href="/interlinear/daniel/3-29.htm">Daniel 3:29</a> see following. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>at rest <p>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/7951.htm">shalah</a>; to be secure -- at rest. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/7951.htm">shalah</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>שְׁלֵ֤ה שלה šə·lêh šəlêh sheLeh<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/daniel/4-4.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Daniel 4:4</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/4.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">אֲנָ֣ה נְבוּכַדְנֶצַּ֗ר <b> שְׁלֵ֤ה </b> הֲוֵית֙ בְּבֵיתִ֔י</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/daniel/4.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> I, Nebuchadnezzar, <span class="itali">was at ease</span> in my house<br><a href="/kjvs/daniel/4.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> was <span class="itali">at rest</span> in mine house,<br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/4-4.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> I Nebuchadnezzar <span class="itali">ease</span> was my house<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7954.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7954.htm">Strong's Hebrew 7954<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/sheleh_7954.htm">šə·lêh — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/7953.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="7953"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="7953" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/7955.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="7955"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="7955" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
