First, I need to let you know, I am not a Hebrew scholar!
Now with that out of the way I will give a brief background.
The Holy Spirit has drawn the heart of my family, myself included, to learning
more about our spiritual roots. This learning process began 6 years ago
and in the process, we have come head to head with the language of
Hebrew. We took a very brief course in beginning Hebrew, but have
continued slowly on our own here at home.
The word selah (see-la) comes from one of two root words in the Hebrew: salah-
"to pause", or from salal - "to lift up, to connect."
Selah is throughout the Psalms. Salah- "to pause", for our
hearts to pause and reflect. Salah - "to life up or connect",
acting as a connection (thought connection) between one Psalm and
another. I guess both meanings would tie in with my purpose for using it
with A Prayer For Roxanne. It was through taking time to
pause and connect the precious truths of God's word with the purpose of my
daughters' life that the prayer came about.
Shalom
