Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G683: ἀποσπάω (apospaō) • to draw away, to remove.
- G2400: ἰδού (idou) • behold, see (used to draw attention, not a direct translation but related in the sense of pointing out or highlighting something).
- G3568: νῦν (nun) • now, at this time (again, not a direct translation but can imply a change or shift in time or state, akin to removal from one state to another).

These Greek entries, while not direct translations, share thematic elements with הָלָא in terms of removal, attention, and transition, reflecting the multifaceted nature of biblical language and its translation.

Usage: The word הָלָא is used in the context of describing something that is removed or distant. It is not frequently found in the Hebrew Bible, indicating a specific and limited application.

Context: The Hebrew term הָלָא (halā') is a verb that originates from an unused root, suggesting the action of removing or being remote. This word is not commonly used in the Hebrew Scriptures, which implies a specialized usage in the texts where it appears. The concept of removal or distance can be both physical and metaphorical, indicating separation or the act of taking something away. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, such terms often carry significant theological implications, reflecting themes of separation from God, exile, or purification processes where something is removed to achieve holiness or cleanliness.
