Strong's Lexicon Eder: Eder Original Word: עֵדֶר Part of Speech: proper name, masculine; proper name, of a location Transliteration: `Eder Pronunciation: AY-der Phonetic Spelling: (ay'-der) Definition: Eder Meaning: Eder is a proper noun used as a personal name and a place name in the Hebrew Bible. It means "flock" or "herd." Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root עָדַר (adar), meaning "to arrange" or "to muster." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Eder, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. Usage: The name Eder appears in the context of both a person and a location in the Old Testament. It is used to refer to: • A descendant of Judah. • A location near Bethlehem. Context: • Eder as a Person: Eder is mentioned as a descendant of Judah in the genealogical records. In 1 Chronicles 4:39, Eder is listed among the sons of Shobal, a descendant of Judah. This genealogical mention places Eder within the broader context of the tribe of Judah, which is significant in the lineage of the Israelite tribes. • Eder as a Place: Eder is also the name of a location mentioned in the Bible. In Joshua 15:21, Eder is listed as one of the towns in the southern part of the territory allotted to the tribe of Judah. This location is part of the Negev region, which is characterized by its arid climate and pastoral lifestyle, fitting the meaning of "flock" or "herd." The mention of Eder in this context highlights its role as a settlement within the tribal inheritance of Judah. • Biblical References: • 1 Chronicles 4:39 (BSB): "They went to the entrance of Gedor, to the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks." • Joshua 15:21 (BSB): "These were the southernmost cities of the tribe of Judah in the Negev toward the border of Edom: Kabzeel, Eder, Jagur."
