Berean Strong's Lexicon heder: Room, chamber, inner room Original Word: חֶדֶר Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to surround or enclose Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of an inner room or chamber can be related to Greek terms such as ταμεῖον (tameion - Strong's G5009), which also refers to an inner room or secret chamber. Usage: The Hebrew word "heder" primarily refers to a room or chamber, often indicating an inner or private space within a building. It is used in the context of both physical spaces and metaphorically to describe intimate or concealed areas. The term can denote a place of privacy, safety, or secrecy, and is sometimes used to describe the inner sanctum of a home or temple. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, homes were typically simple structures with multiple rooms serving various functions. The "heder" would often be an inner room used for sleeping, storage, or private gatherings. In the context of the temple or tabernacle, it could refer to sacred spaces reserved for specific religious functions. Privacy and security were significant in ancient Near Eastern societies, and the "heder" provided a place for both.
