Biblical Context: אָבֵל is a term used in the Bible to describe lamentation or mourning. It often refers to the act of mourning or the outward display of pain over the loss of a person. It can also refer to a place of mourning.
Example: 2 Samuel 20:14 (NKJV):
"And they went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel of Beth-maachah, and to all the men of Berin, and they were gathered together and joined themselves to him." In this case, Avel refers to a city, Abel of Beth-maachah, which is known as a place where a conflict was resolved during David's reign.
The name אָבֵל is also associated with the idea of affliction or mourning, and in this case it refers to a city known for being a place of mourning. |
