Strong's Lexicon ed: Witness, Testimony Original Word: עֵד Word Origin: Derived from the root עוּד (ud), which means to return, repeat, or do again, often in the context of bearing witness or testimony. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3144 (μάρτυς, martys) - Witness - G3142 (μαρτυρία, martyria) - Testimony Usage: The Hebrew word "עֵד" (ed) primarily refers to a witness or testimony. It is used in the context of legal proceedings, where a witness provides evidence or testimony to confirm or deny a matter. The term can also refer to a memorial or a sign that serves as a witness to an event or covenant. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the role of a witness was crucial in legal and covenantal contexts. Witnesses were expected to provide truthful testimony, and their accounts could determine the outcome of legal disputes. The concept of a witness extended beyond human testimony to include objects or monuments that served as perpetual reminders of significant events or divine covenants, such as the stones set up by Joshua after crossing the Jordan River (Joshua 4:6-7).
