Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of support or establishing firmly is עָמַד (amad), which means to stand, remain, or endure. This term is used in contexts where stability and steadfastness are emphasized, such as in Psalm 33:11 (BSB): "The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the purposes of His heart to all generations."

Usage: The Greek verb "ereidó" conveys the idea of supporting or propping something up, ensuring it is firmly fixed or established. It implies a sense of stability and strength, often used metaphorically to describe the act of providing support or establishing something securely.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of support and stability was crucial, especially in architecture and construction. Buildings and structures needed to be firmly established to withstand natural elements and the passage of time. This idea of firm support also extended metaphorically to social and moral structures, where stability and reliability were highly valued.
