Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root קֶדֶם (qedem), meaning "east" or "ancient."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Kedemah, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogical context. However, the concept of "east" or "eastern" can be related to Greek terms such as ἀνατολή (anatolē), which means "east" or "sunrise."

Usage: Kedemah is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically as the name of a descendant of Ishmael.

Context: Kedemah is mentioned in the genealogical records of the descendants of Ishmael, the son of Abraham and Hagar. In Genesis 25:15, Kedemah is listed as one of the twelve sons of Ishmael, making him a tribal leader or chieftain among the Ishmaelites. The name reflects a geographical or directional significance, possibly indicating the eastern territories associated with his descendants. The Ishmaelites were known to inhabit regions stretching from the northern Arabian Peninsula to the eastern parts of the Sinai Peninsula. The mention of Kedemah in the genealogical context underscores the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that Ishmael would become the father of a great nation (Genesis 17:20). The name Kedemah, with its connotations of "eastward" or "ancient," may also suggest the historical and cultural connections of the Ishmaelites with the eastern lands.
