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: a dwelling Meaning: A dwelling or habitation. Word Origin: Derived from the Aramaic root דּוּר (dur), which means "to dwell" or "to reside." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2732: κατοίκησις (katoikēsis) • A dwelling place, habitation. • G2733: κατοίκημα (katoikēma) • A dwelling, habitation. These Greek terms share a similar meaning with the Aramaic מְדוֹר, emphasizing the concept of a place where one resides or inhabits. They are used in the New Testament to describe both physical dwellings and metaphorical or spiritual habitations. Usage: The term מְדוֹר is used in the context of a place of residence or habitation. It appears in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Daniel. Context: • מְדוֹר (medor) is an Aramaic noun that signifies a dwelling or habitation. It is found in the Aramaic sections of the Hebrew Bible, particularly in the book of Daniel. The term is used to describe a place where individuals reside or inhabit. • In Daniel 4:25 (BSB), the term is used in the context of Nebuchadnezzar's dwelling among the beasts of the field: "You will be driven away from mankind, and your dwelling will be with the beasts of the field. You will feed on grass like an ox and be drenched with the dew of heaven, and seven times will pass over you until you acknowledge that the Most High rules over the kingdom of men and gives it to whom He wishes." • The use of מְדוֹר in this passage emphasizes the humbling of King Nebuchadnezzar, as his royal dwelling is exchanged for a place among the animals, highlighting the theme of divine sovereignty and human humility.
