Strong's Lexicon yediduth: Belovedness, love, affection Original Word: יְדִדוּת Word Origin: Derived from the root יָדִיד (yadid), meaning "beloved" or "friend." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of belovedness is ἀγαπητός (agapetos), Strong's Greek 27, which is used in the New Testament to describe beloved individuals or the beloved status of believers in Christ. Usage: The term "yediduth" conveys a sense of deep affection, love, or belovedness. It is used to describe a state or quality of being dearly loved or cherished. This word often reflects the intimate and affectionate relationships between individuals, as well as the love and favor bestowed by God upon His people. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, relationships and familial bonds were highly valued, and terms of endearment like "yediduth" were significant in expressing the depth of these connections. The concept of being "beloved" was not only personal but also communal, reflecting the collective identity of Israel as God's chosen and cherished people. This term underscores the covenantal relationship between God and Israel, where love and loyalty are central themes.
