Strong's Lexicon Maaday: Maadai Original Word: מַעֲדַי Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root עָדָה (adah), which can mean "to pass on" or "to advance." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Maadai, as it is a specific Hebrew name. However, the concept of returning to covenant faithfulness and separation from foreign influences can be seen in the New Testament through terms like ἁγιασμός (hagiasmos, G38), meaning sanctification or holiness. Usage: Maadai is a proper name used in the Hebrew Bible. It is the name of one of the sons of Bani, who was among those who had married foreign wives and pledged to put them away during the reforms of Ezra. Cultural and Historical Background: The name Maadai appears in the context of post-exilic Israel, a period marked by efforts to restore religious and social order following the Babylonian exile. The returnees, led by figures like Ezra and Nehemiah, sought to re-establish the covenant community by adhering strictly to the Mosaic Law. This included the controversial decision to dissolve marriages with foreign women, which was seen as a necessary step to prevent idolatry and cultural assimilation.
