Strong's Lexicon t'alah: Channel, conduit, watercourse Original Word: תְּעָלָה Word Origin: Derived from the root עָלָה (alah), meaning "to ascend" or "to go up." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of a watercourse or channel can be related to Greek terms like διώρυξ (diorux), meaning "canal" or "ditch." Usage: The Hebrew word תַּעֲלָה (t'alah) refers to a channel or conduit, often used in the context of watercourses or irrigation systems. It signifies a constructed or natural passage through which water flows, essential for agriculture and sustaining life in arid regions. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, water management was crucial due to the region's dry climate. Channels and conduits were vital for directing water from natural sources like rivers and springs to fields and settlements. These systems were often sophisticated, reflecting the ingenuity and resourcefulness of ancient engineers. The concept of a watercourse also held spiritual significance, symbolizing life, sustenance, and divine provision.
