Semantic Range

to enter, to come in, to go in, to bring in, to introduce, to cause to enter

Root / Etymology

From the root ע-ל-ל, which in both Hebrew and Aramaic carries core meanings related to entering or going up (distinct from other roots spelled similarly but with different senses such as 'to act, do'). In the Aramaic context, the verb עֲלַל corresponds with Hebrew עָלַל (to enter, come in), showing a clear shared derivation and meaning, and is distinct from עָלָה (H5927), which means 'to go up' in Hebrew.

Historical & Contextual Notes

עֲלַל is an Aramaic verb found in the biblical Aramaic portions, mainly in Daniel and Ezra. It denotes the act of entering a space, either physically (as in coming into a room or area) or metaphorically (as in being brought into a situation or position). This usage aligns with similar Hebrew verbs, but it is important to note that Aramaic עֲלַל almost exclusively refers to entry, not ascent. In the causative stem (haphel), it refers to causing to enter, introducing, or bringing in. English translations often render it as 'enter', 'come in', 'go in', or 'bring in', which matches the primary meaning, though the causative sense may be underrepresented in some translations.

Original Strong's Gloss (1890)

(Aramaic) corresponding to עָלַל (in the sense of thrusting oneself in),; to enter; causatively, to introduce; bring in, come in, go in.
