Berean Strong's Lexicon abodah: Service, labor, work, worship Original Word: עֲבוֹדָה Word Origin: Derived from the root עָבַד (avad), meaning "to work" or "to serve." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3000 (λατρεύω, latreuō): To serve, to worship - G2041 (ἔργον, ergon): Work, deed, action Usage: The Hebrew word "ʿabodah" primarily refers to work or service. It encompasses a range of activities from manual labor to religious service. In the context of the Old Testament, it often denotes the service of the Levites in the tabernacle or temple, as well as the labor of the Israelites in various capacities. It can also imply worship, as service to God is seen as a form of worship. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, "ʿabodah" was a significant concept that permeated both secular and sacred life. The Israelites were called to serve God through their obedience and worship, which was often expressed through the rituals and sacrifices performed by the priests and Levites. Additionally, "ʿabodah" was a part of everyday life, as the people engaged in agricultural and domestic work. The concept of service was deeply embedded in the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where the people were to serve God alone and not foreign gods.
