Strong's Lexicon Qedemah: Kedemah Original Word: קְדְמָה Word Origin: Derived from the root קֶדֶם (qedem), meaning "east" or "ancient." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Qedemah, as it is a proper name specific to Hebrew texts. However, the concept of "east" or "eastern" can be found in Greek with words like ἀνατολή (anatolē), which is Strong's Greek #395. Usage: Qedemah refers to a geographical location mentioned in the Bible, specifically as a place or region. It is often associated with the direction "east" and can imply a sense of antiquity or ancient origins. In the context of biblical narratives, it is used to denote a specific area or territory. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, directions held significant symbolic meanings. The east, or "qedem," was often associated with beginnings, origins, and sometimes divine presence, as the sun rises in the east. The term "Qedemah" as a place name reflects the importance of geographical orientation in biblical times, where locations were often named based on their directional position relative to other landmarks.
