Strong's Lexicon muadah: Assembly, appointed place, meeting Original Word: מועָדָה Word Origin: Derived from the root יָעַד (ya'ad), meaning "to appoint" or "to designate." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is συναγωγή (synagōgē, Strong's Greek 4864), meaning "assembly" or "gathering." Usage: The term "muadah" refers to a designated place or time for gathering, often used in the context of religious or communal assemblies. It signifies a prearranged meeting or an appointed time, particularly for worship or significant events. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, assemblies and appointed times were central to religious life. The concept of an appointed place or time for meeting is deeply rooted in the covenantal relationship between God and His people. The Israelites were commanded to observe specific festivals and gatherings, which were integral to their identity and worship practices. These assemblies were not only religious but also served as times for communal decision-making and celebration.
