A Hebrew noun derived from paal (H6466), to do or work, meaning a work, deed, or the wages/reward for work. Used both for human labor and divine acts, and for the recompense that work brings.
Peullah captures the biblical conviction that both human work and divine action have value and consequence. When applied to God's deeds, it celebrates His mighty acts of creation, redemption, and judgment — all described as the "work" of His hands. When applied to humans, it affirms the dignity of labor and the justice of wages. Isaiah 40:10 declares that when the LORD comes, "his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him" — the divine peullah is both the work He has done and the reward He bestows. The New Testament echoes this: "God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him" (Hebrews 6:10).
