Strong's Lexicon maamad: Standing place, station, position Original Word: מַעֲמָד Word Origin: Derived from the root עָמַד (amad), meaning "to stand" or "to remain." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2476 (histemi): To stand, to set, to establish - G5087 (tithemi): To place, to set, to appoint Usage: The term "ma'amad" refers to a place or position where one stands or is stationed. It can denote a physical location or a metaphorical position of standing, such as a role or duty. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it often relates to the positions or stations of individuals or groups, particularly in religious or ceremonial settings. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of standing or being stationed was significant in both religious and societal contexts. The Israelites had specific roles and positions within their community, especially concerning worship and temple service. The idea of standing in a designated place was integral to maintaining order and fulfilling religious duties. The Levites, for example, had specific stations in the temple service, and the concept of "ma'amad" would be relevant in describing their roles.
