The Original Meaning of "Rejoice," aka, Means "To Brighten Up & Spin Around." Literal Meaning: Jumping Around With Joy

“Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice.” 1 Chronicles 16: 31

In Ancient Hebrew: “Let the heavens be bright, and let the earth spin around.” 


Let's begin by looking at Psalm 2:11 from the King James Version of the Bible. In the English language the word "rejoice" means, "to be glad; take delight." But what we want to do is learn what the Hebrew word behind this English word actually means.


  • Serve the Lord with fear,  with trembling ~ Psalms 2:11

There are over 192 English words with “rejoice” and in the Hebrew bible there are over 152 occurrences for the word “Rejoice.”


The word "rejoice" in Leviticus 23:40 is identified with Strong's number 8055. Next, we go to the dictionary section of Strong's and look up the word 8055 and here we find that the Hebrew word translated as "rejoice" in this verse is "samach," which is used 152 times in the Hebrew Bible and it is identified as a "primitive root.


" This is followed by Strong's definition of this word and note that it provides a very concrete meaning, "to brighten up." Next, we are given the various translations of this Hebrew word in the King James Bible and how many times it is used.

Next, let us take a look at Ezekiel 35:15. Here the word "rejoice" is identified as Strong's number 8057 and is the Hebrew word simchah. This noun is derived from 8056, the Hebrew word same'ach, which we see is found in Psalm 96:11. When we look up 8056 we find that it is derived from 8055, the Hebrew word samach, which we looked at previously.

Notice that the definitions of 8057 and 8056 include "blithe" and "glee," abstract words. But as these nouns are derived from the root samach (Strong's number 8055), already identified with the concrete definition of being "bright," we can conclude that the nouns simchah and same'ach also have the concrete meaning of being "bright."


  • Serve the Lord with fear,  with trembling ~ Psalms 2:11


If we look up Psalm 2:11 in the concordance we find that the Strong's number associated with the word "rejoice" in this passage is 1523 and is the Hebrew word guwl, a primitive root meaning "to spin around."


The Hebrew word behind the word "glad" is samach, which we found to mean "to brighten up." The Hebrew word behind the word "rejoice" is the word guwl, which we found to mean "to spin around."


Doing a Hebrew word study with a Bible, Dictionary, and Concordance is as simple as this and will greatly increase your understanding of the Biblical text. Give it a try and be amazed at the insights you will discover.


  • In Deuteronomy 15:6 we find the words "lend" and "borrow" and when we look both of these words up in Strong's we find that they are both the same Hebrew word - avat. How can the same Hebrew word be translated as lend and as borrow? 


What cannot be determined through Strong's is some of the nuances of Hebrew words. The Hebrew word avat literally means "to give a pledge" and is translated as borrow, but when written in the causative form it would literally be translated as "cause to give a pledge" or "to lend." Putting all biases and prejudices aside, Ancient Hebrew it is still a great tool for investigating the Hebrew language behind the English translations.
