What it means

A plain-English reading of the word, with the lexicons it draws on — Abbott-Smith, Strong's, and Liddell-Scott-Jones — right below it, in full.

AI Summary

λαλέω means to speak, talk, or say — to utter words, whether alone, to someone, about something, or in direct speech 1234. It covers ordinary conversation and speech generally, and can also carry the sense of to preach or to tell 2.

The word is also used of inanimate things that "speak" in the sense of making an utterance or sound — for example a voice, thunder, or blood is described as speaking or crying out 1.
