Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1307: διαγραφή (diagraphē) • This Greek term refers to a written document or record, aligning with the concept of a tablet for writing. It emphasizes the act of inscribing or documenting information, similar to the Hebrew גִּלָּיוֹן. This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the Hebrew term גִּלָּיוֹן, highlighting its significance in biblical literature as a medium for communication and reflection. Usage: The term גִּלָּיוֹן appears in the Hebrew Bible in contexts that suggest a surface for writing or reflecting, such as a tablet or a mirror. Context: • The Hebrew word גִּלָּיוֹן is used in the context of writing and reflection. In Isaiah 8:1, it is translated as "tablet" in the Berean Standard Bible: "Then the LORD said to me, 'Take a large tablet and write on it with an ordinary stylus: Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.'" This usage indicates a surface prepared for inscribing messages or records, likely made of wood, clay, or metal. • The concept of a "mirror" is less directly attested in the biblical text but is inferred from the root meaning of revealing or uncovering, as mirrors in ancient times were often polished metal surfaces that reflected images. • The dual meaning of גִּלָּיוֹן as both a writing tablet and a mirror underscores the theme of revelation and communication, whether through written words or reflected images.
