Part of Speech: Noun Masculine
Transliteration: adi
Pronunciation: ah-DEE
Phonetic Spelling: (ad-ee')
Definition: Ornament, adornment, jewelry
Meaning: finery, an outfit, a headstall

Word Origin: Derived from the root עָדָה (adah), which means "to adorn" or "to decorate."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of adornment can be related to Greek words such as κόσμος (kosmos - G2889), which can mean "adornment" or "order," and καλλωπίζω (kallopizo - G2885), meaning "to adorn."

Usage: The Hebrew word "adi" refers to items used for decoration or adornment, often in the context of jewelry or ornaments. It signifies beauty, splendor, and the act of adorning oneself or something else. In the biblical context, it is used to describe physical adornments that enhance appearance or signify status.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, ornaments and jewelry were significant not only for personal adornment but also as symbols of wealth, status, and identity. They were often used in religious and ceremonial contexts, as well as in everyday life. Jewelry could be made from various materials, including gold, silver, and precious stones, and was often passed down through generations as heirlooms.
