Strong's Lexicon Qedar: Kedar Original Word: קֵדָר Word Origin: Derived from the root קָדַר (qadar), meaning "to be dark" or "to mourn." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Kedar in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew context. Usage: Kedar refers to a son of Ishmael, the second son mentioned in the genealogies, and the name of the nomadic tribe descended from him. The term is often used to denote the people or the region associated with this tribe. In the Bible, Kedar is frequently associated with tents, flocks, and a nomadic lifestyle, symbolizing a people known for their skills in archery and their dark tents made from goat hair. Cultural and Historical Background: The descendants of Kedar were a prominent Arab tribe in the Arabian Peninsula. They were known for their pastoral lifestyle, living in tents and raising livestock. Historically, the Kedarenes were recognized for their trade in sheep and goats, and they played a significant role in the trade routes of the ancient Near East. Their tents, made from black goat hair, became a symbol of their identity. The tribe of Kedar is often associated with the broader Ishmaelite confederation, which had interactions with the Israelites and other neighboring peoples.
