- גָּלַל gâlal · H1556 · to roll, to roll up
- Hebrew גָּלַל (gâlal, H1556) serves as the direct etymological and semantic equivalent of Greek ἀποκυλίω (apokylíō, G617), both denoting the physical action of rolling something away, particularly stones from tomb entrances in biblical contexts; the Greek term represents the compound refinement (ἀπο- + κυλίω) of the rolling action that Hebrew expresses through the simpler root גלל.
