Strong's Lexicon medor: Habitation, dwelling place Original Word: מְדוֹר Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: mdowr Pronunciation: meh-DOR Phonetic Spelling: (med-ore') Definition: Habitation, dwelling place Meaning: a dwelling Word Origin: Derived from the root דּוּר (dur), which means "to dwell" or "to encircle." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is οἰκία (oikia - Strong's Greek 3614), which also means house or dwelling. Usage: The Hebrew word "medor" refers to a place of dwelling or habitation. It is used to describe a physical location where individuals or groups reside. The term can imply a sense of permanence or stability, often associated with a home or a settled community. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of a dwelling place was significant, as it represented not only physical shelter but also familial and tribal identity. The Israelites were a nomadic people for much of their early history, and the transition to settled life in the Promised Land marked a significant shift in their cultural and religious practices. The idea of a "medor" would have been closely tied to the covenantal promises of land and rest given by God to the patriarchs.
