Strong's Lexicon ed: Witness, Testimony Original Word: אֵד Word Origin: Derived from the root עוּד (ud), which means "to return" or "to repeat," often in the context of bearing witness or testimony. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3144 (μάρτυς, martys) - Witness - G3141 (μαρτυρία, martyria) - Testimony Usage: The Hebrew word "עֵד" (ed) primarily refers to a witness or testimony. It is used in the context of legal proceedings, where a witness provides evidence or testimony to establish truth. The term can also refer to a monument or object that serves as a witness or reminder of a covenant or event. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of a witness was crucial for maintaining justice and truth. Witnesses were required to establish facts in legal cases, as seen in Deuteronomy 19:15, which states, "A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses." The role of a witness extended beyond legal settings to include the affirmation of covenants and significant events, often marked by physical monuments or altars.
