Strong's Lexicon edah: Assembly, congregation, community Original Word: עֵדָה Word Origin: Derived from the root עוּד (ud), meaning "to appoint" or "to witness." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - 1577 (ekklesia): Often translated as "church" or "assembly," this Greek term carries a similar meaning of a called-out community or congregation, particularly in the New Testament context. Usage: The Hebrew word "edah" primarily refers to a gathering or assembly of people, often used in the context of the Israelites as a community or congregation. It denotes a collective group bound by common identity, purpose, or faith. In the Old Testament, "edah" is frequently used to describe the congregation of Israel, especially in their religious and communal activities. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of "edah" was central to the identity and function of the people as a covenant community. The assembly was not just a social or political entity but a spiritual one, gathered under the covenant with Yahweh. The "edah" was responsible for maintaining the laws, worship practices, and communal responsibilities as outlined in the Torah. This assembly often gathered for religious festivals, decision-making, and to hear the word of God through prophets and leaders.
