Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primary verb Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of leaping or jumping in the Hebrew Bible can be associated with several Hebrew words, though there is no direct one-to-one correspondence with ἅλλομαι. Some related Hebrew entries include: • Strong's Hebrew 7540 (רָקַד, raqad): To leap, dance, or skip, often used in contexts of joy or celebration. • Strong's Hebrew 6476 (פָּצַח, patsach): To break forth, burst out, or leap, used metaphorically for expressions of joy or sudden action. These Hebrew terms capture similar themes of movement and exuberance found in the Greek ἅλλομαι, reflecting the universal human expressions of joy and transformation across both Testaments. Usage: The verb ἅλλομαι is used in the context of physical movement, specifically to describe the action of leaping or jumping. It conveys a sense of energetic or sudden movement. Context: The Greek verb ἅλλομαι appears in the New Testament to describe the act of leaping or jumping, often used metaphorically to express joy, excitement, or a sudden change in state. This verb is relatively rare in the New Testament, highlighting specific moments of dynamic action or transformation. In the Berean Standard Bible, ἅλλομαι is used in Acts 3:8, where it describes the physical reaction of the man healed by Peter and John at the temple gate called Beautiful. The passage reads: "He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping and praising God." This instance illustrates the immediate and miraculous change in the man's condition, emphasizing the power of faith and divine intervention. The use of ἅλλομαι in this context underscores the theme of restoration and the joy that accompanies divine healing. It serves as a vivid depiction of the transformative power of God, as the man not only regains his ability to walk but also expresses his newfound freedom and gratitude through leaping and praising God.
