It is often used in contexts where there is a celebration of victory or a profound sense of gladness. The term implies not just a quiet joy but an outward expression of delight and exultation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, expressions of joy and triumph were often communal and public. Celebrations, such as those following a military victory or a successful harvest, would involve singing, dancing, and other forms of jubilant expression. The use of "alats" in the Hebrew Bible reflects this cultural context, where joy is not merely an internal feeling but a shared, outward celebration of God's blessings and victories.<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, exult<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>exult (5), exults (1), rejoices (1), triumph (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">עָלַץ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>rejoice, exult</b></font> (Late Hebrew <em>id.</em> (rare);
