Strong's Lexicon aguddah: Band, bundle, troop, bunch Original Word: אֲגֻדָּה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: aguddah Pronunciation: ah-goo-dah Phonetic Spelling: (ag-ood-daw') Definition: a band, bundle, knot, arch Meaning: The term אֲגֻדָּה primarily denotes a "band," "bundle," "knot," or "arch." It conveys the idea of things being bound or tied together, either physically or metaphorically. Word Origin: Derived from the root אָגַד (agad), which means to bind or to tie. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1197: δεσμός (desmos) • This Greek term means "bond" or "chain," reflecting the idea of being bound or tied together, similar to the Hebrew אֲגֻדָּה. • G1860: ἐπαγγελία (epangelia) • While primarily meaning "promise," this term can relate to the concept of binding agreements or covenants, echoing the binding nature of אֲגֻדָּה in a metaphorical sense. These Greek terms, while not direct translations, share thematic elements with אֲגֻדָּה, emphasizing the interconnectedness and binding nature of relationships and commitments in both the Hebrew and Greek scriptures. Usage: The word אֲגֻדָּה appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, often used to describe a collection or grouping of items or people that are bound together. It can refer to physical bundles or metaphorical bands, such as groups of people united for a common purpose. Context: אֲגֻדָּה (aguddah) is a noun that appears in several Old Testament passages, illustrating the concept of unity and binding. In Exodus 12:22, it is used to describe a "bunch" of hyssop, which the Israelites were instructed to use during the Passover. This physical binding of hyssop symbolizes the collective action and obedience of the Israelites. In 1 Samuel 10:5, the term is used to describe a "band" of prophets, indicating a group united by their prophetic calling. The word also appears in Ezekiel 37:19, where it metaphorically represents the unification of the divided kingdoms of Israel and Judah, symbolizing the restoration and binding together of God's people. The use of אֲגֻדָּה in these contexts underscores themes of unity, collective purpose, and the strength found in being bound together.
