Strong's Lexicon eder: Flock, herd Original Word: אֶדֶר Word Origin: Derived from the root עָדַר (adar), meaning "to arrange" or "to muster." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4167 (poimnē): Flock - G4168 (poimnion): Little flock Usage: The Hebrew word "eder" primarily refers to a group of animals, typically sheep or goats, that are herded together. It is used in the context of pastoral life, where shepherds manage and care for these flocks. The term can also metaphorically represent a group of people, often in a spiritual or communal sense. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, pastoralism was a common way of life, and flocks were a significant part of the economy and daily living. Shepherds played a crucial role in society, not only as caretakers of animals but also as symbols of leadership and guidance. The imagery of a flock and shepherd is prevalent throughout the Bible, symbolizing God's care for His people and the leadership of spiritual guides.
