גָּלָה fut. יִגְלֶה with Vav convers. וַיִּגֶל prop. to be naked, and trans. to make naked (kindred to the root גָּלַח to be naked; hence, to be bald, whence, by a softer pronunciation, גָּלַהּ, גָּלָה); especially used of the ear by taking away the hair, of the face by taking away a veil (Arab. جل ا to cast away a garment, to cast away a vail and make bare a woman’s face; metaph. to uncover anything). In the usage of the Hebrew language
(1) to make naked; hence, to disclose, reveal, to uncover; especially in the phrase גָּלָה אֹזֶן פ׳ to make bare, to uncover any one’s ear by taking away the hair, as done by those who are about to disclose some secret thing; hence to certify of anything, to disclose a matter; 1 Samuel 20:2, “my father will not do anything וְלֹא יִגְלֶה … אֶת־אָזְנִי but he will disclose it to me,” verses 12 1 Samuel 20:12, 13 1 Samuel 20:13, 9:15 22:8, 17 1 Samuel 20:17. Elsewhere used, in a sense a little different, of God, Job 36:10, “he opens their ears to instruction;” verse 15 Job 36:15, 33:16.

(b) to be manifested, manifest, used of things which were before concealed, Isaiah 49:9; Hosea 7:1.

Piel i.q. Kal, but so however, that the proper signification is the prevalent one.
(1) to make naked, to uncover, as the feet, Ruth 3:4, the foundations of a building, Micah 1:6. It is also followed by an acc. of the removed covering, Isaiah 22:8, 47:2 Nahum 3:5; Job 41:5. Specially
(a) גִּלָּה עֶרְוַת אִשָּׁה “to uncover the nakedness of a woman;” i.e. to have intercourse with her, Leviticus 18:8, seq.; 20:17, seq. From the words of Leviticus 18:8, it is understood why to uncover the nakedness of a man, is used for, to have unlawful intercourse with his wife, 20:11, 20 Leviticus 20:20, 21 Leviticus 20:21 in which sense there is also said, to uncover his skirt or coverlet; Deuteronomy 23:1, 27:20.
(b) to uncover any one’s eyes (said of God), i.e. to open them, to shew to him things hidden from mortals; Numbers 22:31; Psalms 119:18, גְּלוּי עֵינַיִם (a man) “with open eyes;” said of a prophet, Numbers 24:4, 16 Numbers 24:16. [Part. Paül.]
(2) metaph. to reveal some hidden thing, Job 20:27 a secret, Proverbs 11:13 to deliver up a fugitive, Isaiah 16:3 to make known his power and glory, as God, Psalms 98:2; Jeremiah 33:6. גִּלָּח עַל ד׳ is i.q. גִּלָּה אֶת־אֲשֶׁר עַל ד׳ to uncover a vail, which vailed over any thing, Lamentations 2:14, 4:22 (where nothing needs alteration).
Pual, to be uncovered; Nahum 2:8, of Nineveh, גֻּלְּתָה “she is uncovered,” i.e. ignominiously.
