Strong's Lexicon edayin: then, at that time Original Word: אֲדַיִן Word Origin: Aramaic, likely derived from a root meaning "to be strong" or "to be firm." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "edayin," the concept of sequential or consequential action is often conveyed in Greek by words like τότε (tote, Strong's G5119), meaning "then" or "at that time." Usage: The adverb "edayin" is used primarily in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra. It serves to indicate a sequence of events, often translated as "then" or "at that time," marking a transition or a consequential action in the narrative. Cultural and Historical Background: The use of Aramaic in certain parts of the Old Testament reflects the historical context of the Jewish exile and subsequent periods when Aramaic was the lingua franca of the Near East. This was especially true during the Babylonian and Persian empires, when many Jews were living in regions where Aramaic was the dominant language. The presence of Aramaic in the Bible highlights the cultural and linguistic influences on the Jewish people during these times.
