Strong's Lexicon achad: One, first, single, alone Original Word: אָחַד Word Origin: Derived from a primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1520 (heis): Often used in the New Testament to denote "one" or "single," similar to the Hebrew "achad." - G3391 (mia): Another Greek term for "one," used in contexts like "one day" or "first." Usage: The Hebrew word "achad" primarily denotes the concept of "one" or "first" in terms of number and unity. It is used to express singularity, uniqueness, and sometimes priority or primacy. In the context of counting, it signifies the numeral "one." It can also imply unity or oneness in a collective sense, as seen in expressions of unity among people or within the Godhead. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, numbers often carried symbolic meanings beyond their numerical value. The concept of "one" (achad) was significant in expressing the monotheistic belief central to Israelite religion, emphasizing the uniqueness and singularity of Yahweh as the one true God. This is famously encapsulated in the Shema, a central declaration of faith in Judaism: "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one" (Deuteronomy 6:4, BSB). The idea of oneness also extended to social and communal aspects, highlighting unity and harmony among the people of Israel. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originthe same as chadad, q.v.
