Strong's Lexicon madon: Strife, contention, dispute Original Word: מָדוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root דּוּן (dun), meaning to judge or to strive. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 2054: ἔρις (eris) - meaning strife, contention, or quarrel. - Strong's Greek 3163: μάχη (mache) - meaning battle, fight, or conflict. Usage: The Hebrew word "madon" refers to strife, contention, or dispute. It is often used in the context of interpersonal conflicts, disagreements, or quarrels. The term conveys a sense of ongoing or habitual discord, rather than a single instance of disagreement. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, maintaining harmony within the community and family was of utmost importance. Strife and contention were seen as disruptive forces that could lead to division and weaken the social fabric. The wisdom literature, particularly the Book of Proverbs, frequently addresses the dangers of strife and the value of peace and reconciliation. In a tribal and communal culture, resolving disputes was essential for the well-being and stability of the group. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originsee middah.
