It often conveys a sense of exuberant happiness and celebration, typically in response to God's blessings, deliverance, or presence. It is a term that captures both the emotional and communal aspects of joy, often associated with worship and praise.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, joy was not merely an individual emotion but a communal experience often expressed in public celebrations, festivals, and worship. Joy was seen as a response to God's faithfulness and goodness, and it was deeply embedded in the religious and social life of the community. The Israelites expressed joy through music, dance, and feasting, particularly during significant religious festivals such as Passover, Pentecost, and the Feast of Tabernacles.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>fem. of <a href="/hebrew/1524.htm">gil</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a rejoicing<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>rejoicing (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">גִּילָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>rejoicing</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/65-18.htm">Isaiah 65:18</a>, <font class="hebrew2">גִּילַת וְרַנֵּן</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/35-2.htm">Isaiah 35:2</a> (verbal noun for Infinitive absolute compare De Di;
