Strong's Lexicon adan: Base, pedestal, foundation Original Word: עָדַן Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be firm or strong. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "adan," the concept of a foundation or base can be related to the Greek word "θεμέλιος" (themelios), Strong's Greek #2310, which is used in the New Testament to describe a foundation, particularly in a spiritual or metaphorical sense. Usage: The Hebrew word "adan" refers to a base or pedestal, often used in the context of the tabernacle or temple furnishings. It signifies a firm foundation or support structure, typically for pillars or other significant elements within sacred architecture. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the tabernacle was a central place of worship and the dwelling place of God's presence among His people. The use of bases or pedestals (adan) was crucial for the stability and integrity of the tabernacle's structure. These bases were often made of silver or bronze, materials that symbolized purity and strength. The concept of a firm foundation was not only practical but also carried spiritual significance, representing the steadfastness and reliability of God's covenant with Israel.
