Strong's Lexicon adrazda: "with care" or "diligently" Original Word: אַדְרַזְדָּא Word Origin: Of uncertain origin, possibly derived from a Persian or Aramaic term. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of diligence and carefulness can be related to Greek terms such as σπουδή (spoudē - Strong's Greek 4710), which means "haste, diligence, or earnestness." Usage: The term "adrazda" is used to convey the idea of doing something with great care, attention, or diligence. It implies a thoroughness and conscientiousness in the execution of a task. Cultural and Historical Background: The word "adrazda" appears in the context of the Persian Empire, during the time of the Jewish exile and subsequent return to Jerusalem. This period was marked by significant administrative and bureaucratic activities as the Persian rulers managed their vast empire. The use of such a term reflects the importance of careful and diligent work in the administration and governance of the empire, as well as in the rebuilding efforts of the Jewish people.
