Strong's Lexicon en Charod: Harod Original Word: עֵין חֲרֹד Word Origin: Derived from the root חָרַד (charad), meaning "to tremble" or "to be afraid." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun "Charod," as it is a specific Hebrew location name. However, the concept of "trembling" or "fear" can be related to Greek words like φόβος (phobos), meaning "fear." Usage: The term "Charod" refers to a specific location, namely the spring or well of Harod. It is associated with the narrative of Gideon in the Book of Judges, where Gideon and his men camped before the battle against the Midianites. Cultural and Historical Background: The spring of Harod is located in the Jezreel Valley, a significant area in ancient Israel known for its fertile land and strategic military importance. The name "Harod" itself, meaning "trembling," may reflect the fear and anxiety experienced by Gideon's men as they prepared for battle. This site is crucial in the account of Gideon, where God reduced Gideon's army to 300 men to demonstrate His power and deliverance. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originsee ayin and Charod.
