Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be goodly or powerful. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Edrei, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts. Usage: Edrei is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to a significant location in the ancient Near East. Context: Edrei is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible as a notable city in the region of Bashan. It is one of the two royal cities of King Og of Bashan, the other being Ashtaroth. The city is significant in the biblical narrative as the site of a major battle between the Israelites and the forces of Og. In the account found in Numbers 21:33-35, the Israelites, under the leadership of Moses, defeat Og and his army at Edrei, securing the land for the tribes of Israel. This victory is reiterated in Deuteronomy 3:1-3, where the conquest of Bashan is recounted as part of the Israelites' journey to the Promised Land. Edrei is also mentioned in Joshua 12:4 and 13:12 as part of the territories conquered by the Israelites. The city's strategic location and its association with the powerful King Og underscore its importance in the biblical narrative. In later historical and geographical references, Edrei is identified with modern-day Daraa in southern Syria, although its exact location remains a subject of scholarly discussion.
