Part of Speech: Noun

Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּדַד (gadad), which means "to cut" or "to invade."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "gedudah," the concept of a band or troop can be related to Greek terms such as "σπεῖρα" (speira, Strong's G4686), which refers to a cohort or band of soldiers.

Usage: The term "gedudah" refers to a group or band of people, often used in the context of a raiding party or troop. It conveys the idea of a collective group engaged in a specific action, typically military or aggressive in nature. The word is used to describe groups that are organized for a particular purpose, often involving conflict or warfare.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel and the surrounding regions, small bands or troops were common for both defense and offense. These groups could be composed of family members, tribal warriors, or hired soldiers. They were often involved in skirmishes, raids, and other military activities. The concept of a "gedudah" reflects the tribal and clan-based society of the time, where loyalty to one's group was paramount, and survival often depended on the ability to defend against or attack neighboring groups.
