Berean Strong's Lexicon ed: Witness, Testimony Original Word: עֵד Word Origin: Derived from the root עוּד (ud), which means to return, repeat, or do again, often in the context of bearing witness or testimony. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3144 (μάρτυς, martys) - Witness - G3142 (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 confirm or deny a matter. 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 role of a witness was crucial in legal and covenantal contexts. Witnesses were expected to provide truthful testimony, as their words could determine the outcome of legal disputes or the establishment of covenants. The concept of a witness extended beyond individuals to include objects or monuments that served as perpetual reminders of significant events or agreements, such as the stones set up by Joshua as a witness to the covenant between God and Israel (Joshua 24:27).
