Strong's Lexicon eudia: Fair weather, calmness Original Word: εὐδία Word Origin: From the Greek prefix εὖ (eu, meaning "good" or "well") and the root δία (dia, meaning "through" or "thoroughly"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "eudia," the concept of peace and calmness can be related to Hebrew words like שָׁלוֹם (shalom, Strong's H7965), which means peace, completeness, or welfare. Usage: The term "eudia" refers to a state of fair weather or calmness, often used metaphorically to describe peace or tranquility. In the New Testament, it is used to convey the idea of favorable conditions, both in a literal and figurative sense. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, weather played a significant role in daily life, especially in a maritime society where sea travel was common. Fair weather was essential for safe and successful voyages. The concept of "eudia" would have been understood as a blessing or a sign of divine favor, reflecting a period of peace and prosperity.
