Berean Strong's Lexicon Maday: Media, Medes Original Word: מָדַי Word Origin: Of foreign origin Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3370 Μῆδος (Mēdos): Refers to the Medes, used in the New Testament context, particularly in Acts 2:9, where people from Media are mentioned as being present at Pentecost. Usage: The term "Maday" refers to the region and people of Media, an ancient kingdom located in what is now northwestern Iran. In the Bible, the Medes are often mentioned in conjunction with the Persians, as they formed a significant part of the Medo-Persian Empire. The name is used to denote both the land and its inhabitants. Cultural and Historical Background: Media was an ancient civilization known for its significant role in the rise of the Medo-Persian Empire. The Medes were an Indo-Iranian people who established a powerful kingdom in the 7th century BC. They are historically noted for their alliance with the Babylonians in the overthrow of the Assyrian Empire. The Medes later became part of the Achaemenid Empire under Cyrus the Great, who united the Medes and Persians. This union played a crucial role in the biblical narrative, particularly in the context of the Jewish exile and subsequent return to Jerusalem.
