Strong's Lexicon bedeq: Breach, defect, or repair Original Word: בֶּדֶק Word Origin: From the root verb בָּדַק (badak), meaning "to mend" or "to repair." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of repair and restoration can be related to Greek terms such as καταρτίζω (katartizō - Strong's G2675), meaning "to mend" or "to restore." Usage: The Hebrew word "bedeq" primarily refers to a breach or defect, often in the context of physical structures such as buildings or walls. It can also imply the act of repairing or mending these defects. In the biblical context, it is used to describe the necessary repairs to the temple or other significant structures. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the maintenance of the temple was of utmost importance, as it was the center of worship and the dwelling place of God's presence among His people. The term "bedeq" is often associated with the physical upkeep and restoration of the temple, reflecting the broader cultural emphasis on maintaining the sanctity and functionality of sacred spaces. The concept of repairing breaches also carries a metaphorical significance, symbolizing the restoration of spiritual integrity and communal faithfulness.
