Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Ashdodith" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific reference to a language or dialect. However, the concept of distinct languages and dialects is addressed in the New Testament, such as in Acts 2:6-11, where the apostles speak in various tongues.

Usage: The term "Ashdodith" refers to the language or dialect spoken by the inhabitants of Ashdod, a prominent Philistine city. It is used in the context of distinguishing the speech of the Philistines from that of the Israelites.

Cultural and Historical Background: Ashdod was one of the five major cities of the Philistines, located in the coastal region of ancient Canaan. The Philistines were known for their conflicts with the Israelites during the period of the Judges and the early monarchy. The language of Ashdod would have been part of the broader Philistine culture, which was distinct from that of the Israelites. The Philistines were known for their advanced iron technology and their pantheon of gods, which often brought them into religious and cultural conflict with the Israelites.
