Berean Strong's Lexicon adah: To pass on, advance, adorn Original Word: עָדָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "adah," related concepts of adornment and progression can be found in Greek words such as "κοσμέω" (kosmeo - to adorn) and "προκόπτω" (prokopto - to advance). Usage: The Hebrew verb "adah" primarily means to pass on or advance, often in the context of time or movement. It can also mean to adorn or decorate, suggesting the act of putting on ornaments or attire. This dual usage reflects both a physical and metaphorical sense of progression and beautification. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, adornment was significant, often symbolizing status, celebration, or preparation for a special event. The act of adorning oneself or others could indicate honor, respect, or readiness for a particular role or occasion. The concept of passing on or advancing also held importance, as it could relate to the passage of time, the progression of events, or the movement of people.
