Strong's Lexicon ammud: Pillar, column, stand Original Word: עַמּוּד Word Origin: Derived from the root עָמַד (amad), meaning "to stand" or "to remain." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4769: στῦλος (stulos) - used in the New Testament to refer to a pillar or column, often metaphorically as in Galatians 2:9 where James, Cephas, and John are described as "pillars" of the church. Usage: The Hebrew word עַמּוּד ('ammud) primarily refers to a pillar or column. It is used in the Bible to describe physical structures that provide support or serve as a monument. Additionally, it is used metaphorically to describe divine presence, guidance, and protection, as seen in the pillar of cloud and fire that led the Israelites during the Exodus. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern architecture, pillars were essential structural elements used in buildings, temples, and palaces. They were often made of stone or wood and could be ornately decorated. Pillars also held symbolic significance, representing strength, stability, and the presence of the divine. In the context of the Israelites, the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night were manifestations of God's guidance and protection during their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land.
