Strong's Lexicon Azgad: Azgad Original Word: עַזְגָּד Word Origin: Likely derived from a combination of two Hebrew words: "az" (strong) and "gad" (fortune or troop). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Azgad in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew context. Usage: Azgad is a proper noun used as a name in the Hebrew Bible. It refers to a family or clan that returned from the Babylonian exile. The name may imply "strong fortune" or "a troop of fortune," suggesting a sense of strength or blessing associated with the family. Cultural and Historical Background: The name Azgad appears in the context of the Jewish return from Babylonian exile, a significant event in Jewish history. This period marked the restoration of the Jewish community in Jerusalem and the rebuilding of the Temple under the leadership of figures like Zerubbabel and Ezra. The returnees were organized by family groups, and the listing of these families underscores the importance of lineage and heritage in post-exilic Jewish society.
