1. rejoicing, exultation — An abstract noun denoting joy, gladness, or exultation, from the root g-y-l 'to rejoice.' Hebrew gīl expresses intense joy or jubilation, typically in religious or communal celebration contexts. Attested in Psalms (43:4, 45:15, 65:12) for worship joy, in prophetic literature (Isaiah 16:10, Hosea 9:1, Joel 1:16) often paired with other joy-words in hendiadys constructions ('joy and gladness'), and in wisdom literature (Job 3:22, Proverbs 23:24). All forms express the same core meaning of exuberant rejoicing. 8×
